Girard Nova awnings

Does anyone know how to tell if the awnings (Girard Nova) on my 2020 DS 4362 are 12volt or 110volt?

Mostly likely 12v. Unplug from shore, have gen off, turn off inverter & try to put them in or out. If the awning works, it's 12V. Or see if one of your 12V are marked "Awning".

They are 110v.

Don is correct. Look in basement bay on passenger side. There will be 2 white control boxes that are plugged into a receptacle. The control box is very expensive.......

Girard awnings are all 110 volt. As noted, they're plugged into boxes, typically in the 3/4 storage bay on the passenger side. Since they're in a bay and can be exposed to water, they're powered by a GFCI in the half bath.

The GFCI could be elsewhere, but just know they're controlled by a GFCI.

Girard awnings

Mine are wired into the GFCI above the kitchen sink under the cabinets. I have a Dutchstar 4369

Wow, I assumed the Girands were like the other powered awnings I have & have seen. I knew it before, but just got reminded what they say about "assume". I'll shut up next time. Sorry for the misinformation.
