Today is the first time I tried to extend the awning on our new to us 99' Bounder. I loosened the black knobs on the back of the main arms, released the travel lock on each arm, and pulled the catch at the top right.
I had to manually pull the awning out a little to get to the strap. Once the wife had the pull rod tied to the strap she could not pull the awning out.
I tugged a little harder and the strap broke.
Now I am not sure how to extend the awning and lock it in place.
Should it lock it self in place as you pull it out with the strap?
Help.
