Awning Stuck Closed

Thanks - Chris - instuction worked first try - learn something even new after nearly 30 years RVing.

I've had that lever stick when the awning was extended, and the solution was to turn the tube just a bit in the direction it is going. So when down, turn the tube to further unroll as you flip the lever. Or when up, turn the tube slightly in the rollup direction. If that is what you mean you've already tried unsuccessfully, I got nothing.

As for the cost, to replace, I've been quoted anyplace from $600 to $1000 for my 14 footer.

Release the arm at the bottom and swing it out while pulling on the lever.
