weather pro awning

I have a weather pro awning by dometic on my 2008 Meridian. Works great but when I retract the awning the side with motor acts like it is in a bind and pulls hardware away from coach Any suggestions

    I would try lubing the strut, IN fact, I'm buying lube next time past a hardware store.
  • That makes me wonder if the gas charged strut has an issue. Maybe remove it and see if it will compress.
  • yes they do it is only one side thought maybe it could be my strut can you lube?
  • Do the arms line up perfectly with the rails on the outside wall of the RV when the awning is closed?
    If not then that will cause a bind. The solution is to remove the small screw(s) that secure the awning material to the gutter-track and slide the awning material until everything lines up.
    There are video's on U-tube that give more detailed info.
