Awning
A patio awning is a very popular accessory on recreational vehicles. They provide additional living area
for your campsite as well as protection. The appropriate instructions for the equipped awning are
included in the unit packet. Please review the manufacturer instructions carefully prior to using the patio
awning.
Care and Maintenance
The best way to extend the life of the awning is to keep it clean and operating smoothly. At the start of
every camping season or after extensive traveling, inspect the top and bottom brackets and tighten if
loose. Moving parts, such as the lift handle, rafter and support arms, may become hard to operate due to
weather exposure and use. If this occurs, spray the part(s) with a silicone spray. To keep the awning
operation smooth, repeat the process on a regular basis. Mold and mildew on the fabric can be avoided
by periodically cleaning the vinyl with a mild non-abrasive cleaner and inspecting it for leaves or other
debris before closing. After cleaning, allow the fabric to dry completely before rolling up. When raining,
lower one end of the awning so that the water will run off and not pool on the fabric, and avoid rolling it up
when wet. If necessary, unroll as soon as conditions permit to allow the awning to dry.
If heavy rain or wind is predicted, or whenever you leave the awning unattended, it is best to close the awning.
Damage to the awning or unit due to weather is not covered under the warranty.
