RV Awning Replacement
Why RV Awnings Break
Awnings can be easily damaged by things like wind, trees, signs, posts, fences, walls, other vehicles and more. Because of this, we’ve seen plenty of RVs come in needing repair or replacement.
When you retract your awning, the brake mechanism locks it into a closed position and it can get worn down over time. This part of the awning isn’t usuaully checked on a regular basis, so it can often break “unexpectedly" and in most cases it happens when driving down the road. The awning will slip down and the high winds will cause it to fold out and once this happens, either the fabric or the entire aluminum frame breaks off.
Within the awning roller, there are a set of cams and torsion spring. These parts were made to maintain tension on the roll and keep everything locked into position. However, over time, the cams’ ability to hold tension on the spring diminishes. While you can’t always see them very easily, they’re found inside of the awning rollers’ end cap.
