This is getting really confusing. There are several “my RvWorks” YouTube videos where he does need to pin the roll on an electric awning, but it doesn’t look like the model I have.On the Solera video, they never disconnected the other end, which is where the spring would be if there is one.
On the my RV works videos, he pins the spring through a hole that I can’t find on mine.
The gas struts won’t cause me problems because I have that part of the arm completely disconnected, so I can stick it in the back of the truck with it half open.
