mine is manual
and i just ordered a new front spring
so i have a question about how the electric models function
i've been reading and it seems there are several types
some that use the motor to extend and to retract
and some that use springs (gas?) for extent and only use the motor for retract
seems these go out faster than they retract
even some that are 120v instead of 12v DC
can owners of these types clarify on this ?
Ours is a Dometic. It goes out with electric (12v) and back in With electric. There are gas shocks to dampen the wind from blowing it around when open. Also the gas shocks reset it after it would dump rain water off.
