I. 

Connecting The LED Lights 

(If Applicable)

Skip this subsection if the awning is

 NOT 

equipped with an LED light strip.

1. 

 

FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK 

HAZARD. Verify there are no obstacles inside 

RV’s roof and/or walls (wires, pipes, etc.). Shut 

 

OFF 

gas supply, disconnect 120 Vac power from 

RV, and disconnect positive (+) 12 Vdc terminal 

from supply battery  

BEFORE 

drilling or cutting 

into RV. Failure to obey these warnings could 

result in death or serious injury.

With  awning  open,  drill  (1)  5/8″  diameter  hole 

through the outside wall of RV (near the RH top 

casting and under the awning rail).

Ensure the location will allow LED wiring to 

pass through the wall without interference.

2. 

 

Do

 NOT 

pinch wiring or allow wir-

ing to rub against sharp edges. If wiring is dam-

aged, it

 MUST 

be replaced by a qualified service 

technician.
Use a grommet (installer supplied) when routing 

wiring through the RV wall.

If a grommet is

 NOT 

used, use heat-shrink 

tubing where wiring will pass through the 

RV wall.

3. 

 

ALWAYS 

seal wiring against 

weather and moisture where wiring enters RV’s 

roof and/or walls. Otherwise, water leakage 

could occur.
Pull the wiring through the wiring hole (and 

grommet).

If a grommet is

 NOT 

used, make sure 

sealant will also provide effective and per-

manent protection against wire damage.

4. 

 

Make sure the positive (+) 12 

Vdc terminal is disconnected from supply bat-

tery. Otherwise, damage to unit could occur.
Connect LED switch wiring to the factory pre-

wired LED light strip.

See instructions included with your LED 

switch kit (installer supplied) for additional 

wiring instructions.

5.  Secure the wiring  to prevent pinching or other 

damage during awning operation.

Allow enough slack in the wiring to safely 

accommodate possible fabric movement.

H.  Installing Cover on LH Side

FIG. 22

FIG. 23

1.  While the awning is open from the previous step, 

place the LH back cover against the top casting 

while aligning the casting pin into the cover hole 

(see FIG. 22).

2.  Place the LH front cover against the back cover, 

aligning pin and push covers together until the 

tabs snap securely in place.

3. 

OPTIONAL:

 Place and tighten cover screws 

through the back cover and into the front cover 

(see FIG. 23).
