Power Awnings (if so equipped)
Each power awning will have its own control switch, which is typically located on the com-
mand 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 RV is in transit.
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 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.
For detailed safety and operating information, refer to the manufacturer’s user guide.
– refer to the manufacturer’s owner manual which is located on both a
CD and a USB ash drive included in your warranty packet. This CD (or ash drive) will
include several dierent 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.
The electric awning requires connection to a 120-volt
power source**. Make sure you have sufcient power available
before operating your awning (refer Electrical Systems, Calculating
electrical load).
The eects 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
