greyhounds4me Report post Posted October 27, 2015 My awning is needing to come down and I do not know how to unroll it safely. It snapped up almost to the end last time and snatched the pull string and just ate it up! I have looked at the manual and of course there are no troubleshooting issues but I am sure other people have done this too.....help please and thanks, Pam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossboyer Report post Posted October 27, 2015 You will need to just unroll the awing until the strap can be reached and then pull it all the way out. Suggest you order a longer strap or add a loop of nylon cord to lengthen a few inches. When I was attending a large rally where they were present, they replaced at no charge.

greyhounds4me Report post Posted October 27, 2015 Thank you but I travel alone with my dogs. I have no one to help me. I am not near tall enough even on a ladder to reach and do I do it from the middle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfe10 Report post Posted October 27, 2015 Agree, you will need assistance. Would be hard to imagine a CG where others would not be glad to help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted October 28, 2015 grayhound, Go to most any RV shop. You will find one that will help unroll you awning. They may smile a bit but most likely not charge you. Good luck, I am smiling just thinking of how many time this has happened to me. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have found that 99% of campground dwellers are friendly and willing to help. If you do run into that 1%, just move over to the next unit and ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I keep extras with me and I always look at them to see if its time to replace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
