Slide awning malfunction

Had new material put on my largest slide cover. Everything was fine the first few times I operated the slide, but today it rolled up part of the way in, then stopped rolling. How do I fix this?

    that's probably what I'm going to do.
  • Thank you for the response. The place I had it done is not close by. Does anyone know if replacing the spring is difficult? Planning a snowbird trip Jan. 2, and repair places are notorious for hold a camper hostage for weeks before fixing it.

    If you had it done, then go back to the person who did it and let them deal with it. If spring broke, then it needs to be replaced as a separate job. If they FUBAR'd the install, then they need to fix it.

  • Sounds like you might have a spring failure. If spring broke it won't roll up.
