On my Alfa 5th wheel the awning on the large slide out binds when going out I have to get up there and free it about three times as it is going out. Has anyone got any ideas I have sprayed wd40 in the ends but does not seem to do much good any help would be helpful thank you

Hey Old Guy...Are you refering to a 'topper' or an actual awning? Both are spring loaded. Did you contact the manufacturer? Wish I could help out Jim, but I know zero about them.

Hi It is a topper and then when slide is out you pull it with the straps and it shades the window talked to a fellow in Edmonton and he thought the spring is broken but took it apart and spring is good will keep working on it thanks
