Awning care
It is a good idea to keep the awnings in the closed position if you will be away from the
recreation vehicle for an extended period of time. Keep your awnings clean and in good
condition to prevent costly repairs.
Periodically check that the fasteners are tight. Tighten if necessary.
Keep the awning fabric clean. For detailed cleaning information, refer to the
manufacturer’s owner information included in the Warranty Packet.
The 12-volt power awning (if so equipped) may need to be adjusted (retracted) to operate
the entry door (some models).
Awnings must be closed (and locked if applicable) while the RV is in transit.
