Was Lucky -Fixed Stuck Awning with no problem
Last month the week before our two week trip I started to bring down the main awning. It would not budge/wiggle/unwind or move. So, it being 4 days to departure I decided to leave it alone and fix it when we get home. Because at the time I was thinking broken roller spring or something.
This morning up early and out to the TT. Check very close for new wasp nests then started to work. Sprayed oil onto and into every moving part.
Made sure it was unlocked and climbed up the ladder to inspect the center roller mount. I had installed this years ago because the awning is 22 feet long and I did not want it bending and bouncing while moving.
The TT had sat without moving entire 2013 season while we rebuilt the kitchen. During that time mud,gunk,stuff, etc had worked itself between the support pad and the awning. It made a nice glue like material. After twisting and lifting I broke it free and then the awning rolled down with out any problem.
With all of the years reading this forum I had never read a post about a problem like this.
