Section 4: Vehicle Operation
Awning Care
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.
Your recreation vehicle may include one or more of the following options:
Power window awnings
Slide out awnings
Power awning over entrance door
Power switches to operate the awnings are typically found in the control panel above the
entrance door.
Electric Patio Awning With Remote Control
In Motion Detector (if so equipped)
Some patio awnings are equipped with a motion detector. If the patio awning experiences
extreme or excessive movement, it will automatically retract to the travel mode position.
For detailed safety and operating information, refer to the manufacturer’s user guide.
NOTE:
The electric awning requires connection to a 120-volt
power source. Make sure you have sufficient power available before
operating your awning (refer Electrical Systems, Calculating electrical
load).
Power Awnings (if so equipped)
Each power awning will have its own control switch, which is typically located on the
command center switch panel located inside the entrance door. Pressing and holding the
switch will extend or retract the awning.
Awnings must be closed (and locked if applicable) while the motor home is
in transit.
The effects of wind and rain on an awning are unpredictable and can
cause severe damage to the awning and/or the recreation vehicle. If wind
or extended periods of rain are expected, retract the awning.
It is recommended that if leaving the recreation vehicle unattended for a
length of time you should retract the awning to avoid unexpected weather
conditions.
