Awning question (last one hopefully)
Ok...awning off, new fabric on, end caps replaced...now, it is a 17’ Dometic awning, and the research I found said that the spring should be tensioned 10 turns (clockwise—spring is on the left side)....

FWIW, I replaced the fabric on my 18' awning last year without removing the end caps or messing with the springs.
Can't be done. I don't know what you did or how you did it, but Dometic awnings require at least one end cap to come off. The nylon insert ropes fold inside the tube and the end caps fit OVER them. Now, if you DRILLED out the end caps to get the old fabric removed and install the new fabric, that is NOT how you do it. Doug
