Why a TV? :) I am not the OP but after Jeeping all day and sitting by the campfire a little while we like to watch TV for a hour or two and relax before going to bed. Also like to keep up with the news but mostly the weather. I really don't want to be washed off the side of a mountain when Jeeping. X2213Views0likes0CommentsRe: Blowing your air horn when leaving.

I have Ohio pass marked now. Just north of Gunnison to Crested Butte. Any other 2wd passes or roads I should take? I have a dirt bike but I'm not sure if the wife will jump on. Go to Ohio by way of Crested Butte and you can opt for a short sidetrip up Kebbler ..... another pass is Independence between Leadville and Aspen......these are all quakie infested for good color shots....IMHO125Views0likes0CommentsRe: Colorado 9/2 Drycamping 2wd.

Wrong Lane wrote: Don't know about other awnings but on mine there is no need to drill an end cap to replace the strap. It slides in the same groove that allows us to hang straps for awning lights, hanging flower pots, screen rooms etc. The groove the strap is in is open at the end of the roller closest to the rear of the motorhome. I have done this alone before. Put your awning control lever/handle in the "down" position. Grab a picnic table and pull it up beside your rig. Grab the awning in the middle and start pulling out and down. The mechinism in the awning should hold it from closing just as it does when you use the strap. Eventually you will see what's left of the broken end of the strap, grab it and continue to deploy the awning until it is fully extended. The awning strap is attached to a plastic "T" in a groove. Slide it towards the rear of the rig and you should see that the groove lines up with a pre-cut slot in the end cap of the roller. Remove old strap, insert new pull down. This has happened to me when I was in the boonies with no replacement strap and nowhere to buy one for 100 miles. If stuck, you can tie some rope around the broken strap leaving enough rope exposed so when the awning is rolled up a piece of rope can be seen. Tie a loop in the end of the exposed rope and you can then use your awning as per normal until you can secure a new pull down. X2307Views0likes0Comments
