Travel'r awning issue
We have a Carefree of Colorado Travel'r awning. It went out but didn't come back in. No noise, nothing. I got a ladder and I was able to turn the tube while my wife hit the button. It then very slowly...

It sounds to me like you have a battery charging issue. Nominal 6V batteries in series should have higher voltage than 12.45 when fully charged. The low battery voltage would effect the performance of the awning.
Wonderful. Where do I start with this? I have the Magnum Energy MMS1012 inverter/charger and the MM-RC remote for it. I have seen it go through the charging cycle based on the lights on the remote. The inverter is running the refrigerator only, no other outlets. The batteries are new this year, as of March and the water level is correct. Wiring is clean and tight. I'll have to see how much voltage the batteries have. At this time I don't know what model converter I have, it's a WFCO and that all I know for now. I don't know how this is wired either (yet). Do I have AC going into the inverter which charges the battery and then from the batteries it goes to the converter to supply the 12 volt circuits? The converter and inverter are almost 20 feet apart, they are almost at opposite end of the coach. Isn't that a long run to the converter?
I have some investigating to do tonight. Please send me anything else to check.
Thanks again
Fred
