Heating & Cooling
Do not attempt any repairs
to any awning. The awning
roll tube is under extreme
spring tension. Repairs
should only be performed
by an authorized dealer
and/or repair center.
Awnings must be closed
and locked (if applicable)
while the RV is in transit.
WARNING
WARNING
The Patio Awning Switch
is located inside the RV,
on the Command Center.
Patio Awning
Keep your awning in good condition to prevent costly repairs.
It is very important to keep the awning clean. If weather con-
ditions are windy or stormy, close the awning into the travel
mode position. Shut the awning in the travel position if you will
be away from the RV for an extended period of time.
For more information, please refer to the awning
manufacturer’s user manual.
Exterior 110V Awning Accessories Plug
The GFCI outlet, located by the door-side slideout, is intended
as a convenient connection for awning lighting accessories
(customer supplied).
Slideout Awnings
If equipped, a slideout awning (also called a topper ) will
automatically open and close along with the slide-room. When
fully extended, the topper is level (which may cause water to
puddle on top of the canopy). As the slide-room is closed, the
topper will roll up and cause any puddles to spill over the sides
of the awning.
To avoid damage to the awning and/or slide-room:
ALWAYS check that your slideout awning is free of any debris
(leaves, twigs, etc.) BEFORE retracting the slideout.
