My coach has care free covers over slides, they are sagging. Is there any adjustments to tighten up the awnings. Thanks.

You'll need to install carter pins or nails through each end of the roller before removing it. Then once on the ground, get some help holding it, before removing the pins and crank it up a few. If you really want it done right and assuming no fatigue, then undo it and start over with 13 turns on the rollers. This gets pretty tight, so BE CAREFUL. I'd probably just go with the former idea here unless I was cutting some off and having it resewn, which very well could be needed as well and how I came about with doing this. Saved buying new material and there is more than what's needed on there. NOt sure if I could do it again though with as much as I had to cut off the first time.
