Hello everyone,
I think I may have an issue with my electric awning. The awning fabric is somewhat loose after opening it up. I have some pics of it when it was brand new and the fabric appears really tight looking. Not so any more. I am wondering if maybe the gas shocks have gotten weak and need replacing. I had the fabric replaced about 6 months after taking delivery due to a hole in the original fabric. I can also pick up on the end of the awning very easily without much resistance. Dealer says the shocks rarely go bad and said I'd need to bring it in for a check. Thought I'd ask you guys if you've had similar issues before making a 1-1/2 hr trip to the dealer.
Thanks a lot.
