Section 4: Vehicle Operation
Operating the Awning(s)
Each power awning will have its own control switch; press
and hold to extend or retract.
 Rear side awning (if so equipped) switch is typi-
cally located in the cargo bay area.
 Front side awning (if so equipped) switch is typi-
cally located on the living area wall.
 Rear patio awning (if so equipped) can be either
manual or power. The power awning is controlled
by a single channel remote mounted to the wall
inside the rear entrance door.
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. 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, retract the awning to avoid unexpected weather condi-
tions.
Electric Patio Awning With Remote Control

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.

warnings and information included in the manuals.

source**. Make sure you have sufficient power available before operating
your awning (refer Electrical Systems, Calculating electrical load).
