 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 or if your RV has a touchscreen, the awning controls may be located there.

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.

– refer to the manufacturer’s owner manual which is located on both a
CD and a USB flash drive included in your warranty packet. This CD (or flash drive) will
include several different awning manuals including slide out toppers and patio awnings.
Included also is troubleshooting, service and repair information. Follow all safety related
warnings and information included in the manuals.
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) ***Certain awnings (Reatta, Reatta XL & Embark) require a
12VDC power source..
Awnings must be closed (and locked if applicable) while the RV 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. Retract the aw-
ning if:
 If wind or extended periods of rain are expected
 If you leave the RV unattended for a length of time, to avoid unexpected
climate conditions.
