So I talked to Lippert and they said it was prob the motor as well. He tried to get me to take the head cover off, but I couldn't get to it without opening the awning (oh the irony), so he suggested opening it manually and then checking. Unfortunately we got disconected prior to me being able to test anything, but I figured what the hell, let's see what I find. So I pulled the rubber cap and used a drill to open it up and check some wires. I did that for about 3 min and then was like....this is ridiculous.....even with the drill it had opened all of like 1 foot, so I gave up on opening it more, but had enough room to check some wires. I checked the wires I could see and made sure they were in the connectors well. Everything appeared to be fine. Then I go back inside and hit the switch and boom, everything worked fine. I'm assuming a wire just came loose. I'll be securing it with a better cap, but thankfully it's not a major issue.
All I could picture was the potential for rain this weekend with no awning and then later trying to get it in to the dealership to get fixed and how long that proces would take. Thankfully it seems like none of that will be necessary and we can enjoy our trip this weekend.
We're heading to Myakka River State Park, catching an Orioles Spring Training game with a pre-game crab feast and enjoying some park and beach time. Hopefully the weather holds out for us.
Have a great weekend everyone!
