Electric Awing won't close

[Texas_Bohunk]

I have a 2014 Forest River V-Cross VTSB365 my problem is the awning will open up with no problems. When I got to close it, it stops intermittently. If I wait a second and hit the close button it starts again but stops within a few seconds. Is there any adjustments for the closing torque or springs that I can adjust to correct this problem?


Thanks in advance.

My problem is it has done this since new. Dealership looked at it twice. But I will look at the wiring just to be sure.

You need to check the motor and connections to make sure you've got a good connection. Most of the power awnings don't have well protected motors and/or connections. Best way to check would be to hook up a battery directly to the motor and see how it operates. If it's still slow, time for a motor replacement. But if it works fine, then check connections, switches, and wiring in general.

I had to replace the motor on my power awning, it was doing the same thing as yours. I got a new motor off Ebay, and it was about half the cost of one from an RV vendor.
