Going on our 4th summer with this TT, (Keystone Hideout 242LHS) we purchased it brand new in 2017.

I have an issue I'd like to share with the group and hopefully draw upon your wisdom.

I first encountered this issue last season and it's now repeatable. When retracting the awning, once closed it burns out the 12V 15A fuse nearly every time. Extending the awning is never an issue.

This has not always been the case, something definitely has changed with my awning. If I had to guess, maybe there's a faulty "stop switch" that is supposed to cut off the motor when it gets to a certain point? Am I in the ballpark? Has anyone experience correcting this type of failure?


In anticipation of your first follow-up questions; I let go of the retraction switch as soon as the awning stops retracting. I'm not sitting there holding down the switch after the awning stops retracting. From the time the awning stops retracting to the time I let go of the switch is less than a second.

I appreciate your time, thanks in advance!
