Manual Awning Question/Help
When the manual awning is fully pulled away from TT and the short slide arms/rails are extended now ready to be raised up on each side I have difficulty in pushing the arm/rails up. I do not extend on...

Are you undoing the arm locks (rafter knob) before trying to raise them?
I use a silicone spray occasionally.....not because they are difficult but because I don't like the chatter when sliding the rafter up/down channel
Mine are easy to raise and I'm actually doing it wrong...
1) I pull the awning away from the trailer (unrolling)
2) Extend the rafter arms and put a little outward pressure on each for some tension
3) Tightly lock the rafter knobs
4) Extend the main arms to desired height.
I'm too short to reach the rafter knobs when the main arms are fully extended, so I do them up earlier. I have had no binding problems at all. I'm thinking something must be bent or jammed elsewhere in the OP's awning system
Me as well. I put the "rafters" into their slot at the top of the arm. Pull them as tight as I can, lock them with the knob, and then raise the support arm. It's easier to raise, when the "rafters" are already in place.
