Travel'r awning issue
We have a Carefree of Colorado Travel'r awning. It went out but didn't come back in. No noise, nothing. I got a ladder and I was able to turn the tube while my wife hit the button. It then very slowly...

In your owners manual you will find the connection points for the motor. Check the voltage there while operating the switch. Low voltage can be caused by poor connections, high amp draw caused by a faulty motor or high amp draw caused by the awning not operating freely.
Did the test. 12.45 volts at the wiring with no load. 11.5 volts going out and 9.8 volts trying to come in. I'm thinking that the motor has an issue.
I may be getting a new motor under warranty. Not sure if this is the fix. I'll have to install it myself which, with a few people to hold things in place, it doesn't seem that hard to do.
Only other thing to do is add an DC converter and boost the 12 volts to 14 volts. The awning moved really good at 18, 14 should be just fine.
