Re tension dometic awning.

If it s suitable you re finished. Step 1 prepare to re insert the cotter pin. Once you ve reassembled both arms check the awning tension. I am making a new fabric panel to replace the 2002 tablecloth fabric that disintegrated.

Roll the awning back up to observe how tight it is. I got the first panel done and assumed that all i had to do was wind the entire tube 8 turns etc. View a complete step by step instructional tutorial for replacement of a new or damaged solera manual awning spring assembly. The cotter pins are the ones that lock the spring tension securely while taking down the rv awning.

The dometic door awning is totally enclosed in an all metal case. 2 the support arm consists of an outer and inner section. Remove the 2 phillips head screws from the bottom end of the outer section. We should test the tension before doing anything else.

You do not need to put the screws back in. The tension arms are what you adjust to make the awning taut after it has been lowered. 1 lower the awning so the roller tube is as close to the ground as possible. When you release the tension in the spring the cotter pin that is inserted in the holes in the awning arms are removed.

Reattach the rear awning leg and lower both leg sections completely. Its wide canopy provides cover for the door and side window to protect both your entryway and you while you re looking for your keys. For more information call 5.
