Power awning partially extended

[wopachop]

First off it turns out i have been over extending my awning. Finally read the instructions and you want "the valance rope at the top of the roller tube". Its too windy to check, but im pretty sure if i hold the button until the awning stops that was over extended. Because i remember water pooling there while cleaning. What a rookie mistake.

Question is do you see any problem having the awning extended only 2 feet out? That helps cool my trailer when its too windy to have it fully extended. I cant really see a reason why this is bad.

Another thing i found interesting was their cleaning method. Its 1/4 cup dish soap, 1/4 cup bleach, into 5 gal water. Part i thought was cool is they say drench the awning and then roll it up and let soak for 5 minutes.

I hardly ever extend mine all the way it. It is a long way out there. They told me the valance should hang straight down when fully extened.

I usually extend mine 2 to 3' only. If rain comes, put the awning in and also put it in every night.

No problem 2 feet out unless there's a wicked wind. I do it to keep the rain off the entrance steps. I would use that cleaning formula in a pump weed sprayer, let it sit a bit, push a lightweight mop around on the top and bottom and then rinse off.

I partly extend my awning often but wind is an awning’s enemy. Be careful.
