The motorhome is equipped with a slide-out
awning that will automatically roll out with the slide
room when it is extended. When the slide room is
extended, the awning can then be rolled out com-
pletely as a window awning. The slide-out awning
has two devices to help prevent the awning from
“billowing” while traveling. The first device is a pair
of anti-billow studs, which are located above each
end of the awning roller tube. If the awning catches
wind and begins to billow, the awning metal wrap
will contact the anti-billow stud levering downward
and engaging with a plastic gear preventing fur-
ther unraveling of the awning material. The second
device uses two metal wind deflectors which are
positioned just below the awning. This helps prevent
side winds from scooping under the awning and
unwinding the awning material.
CAUTION: The slide room and slide-out awning should be
retracted during heavy winds or rain. Rain can be driven up
under the slide-out awning and into the motorhome. The
slide-out awning should be retracted in high wind conditions
as damage can occur to the awning or motorhome.
NOTE: At least five feet of clearance is needed between the
side of the motorhome and any objects, such as trees or
fences, to allow the slide room and slide-out awning to be
fully extended.
To move the slide-out room manually retract the motorhome leveling
jacks (see “Leveling Jacks”).
1. Open outside storage compartment doors underneath slide-out room.
2. Remove plastic covers, if applicable, from top of compartments to
gain access to drive shaft and drive mechanisms.
3. To move the slide-out room, move the lever on the motor counter-
clockwise to release motor brake and turn the end of the shaft next
to the gear box using a 7/8” wrench.
