Awning

[Brantlyj]

I accidentally unrolled the awning to far and now it will not roll in. I hand rolled it but unrolls like it’s not attached.
How do I fix it?

Not sure what you mean. You extended it too far and now the motor wont retract it?

That is Correct

[chuckster57]

What brand of awning? Is the fabric on the TOP of the roller tube?

It’s a Carefree

If you can roll up the awning by hand, the roller tube is probably no longer engaged with the motor. You can take the cover off, and remove the 3 screws that hold the motor/gearbox in place. The roller tube has a shaft with a flat spot that lines up in the gearbox. I would be looking at it.

Well, this sucks.

Oops, sorry to say not that uncommon.

When you use pot metal to save 50 cents it does not surprise me.
