Hey Cameron, whatever you do, get your diploma. I know school can get in the way of pursuing that mighty dollar especially in your Senior year but trust me, get that diploma no matter what.

[@hillbillyrv]

He is.

[@JeffinTD]

Nice reminder that there is still such a thing as a young person eager to work.

[@KevinCoop1]

If you want your awning to last longer, I have a suggestion. The reason vinyl gets dry and brittle is that the oil comes out of it. And the sun is responsible for damage also. So, if your awning is dried out and maybe has shrunk in length, but some Howard’s Butcher Block Conditioner. It is made on mineral oil, bees wax, and carnauba wax. After cleaning it, you can rub it on the top, roll out a little at a time and get the whole top. Roll it back up and down a few times and leave it rolled up for a couple days. Unroll and wipe off excess wax. Will be soft and shiny. Congrats on 10K again! Kevin

[@hillbillyrv]

Good advice, thanks.

[@alanedge7281]

I'm a newbie at RV stuff. This was extremely helpful. Thanks guys!

[@douglasmayherjr.5733]

That reminds me of a big mouse trap, if you don’t know what your doing. A bunch of tension springs and shocks. Reminds me of the first time I tried to fix the pull cord on a string trimmer, weed eater. The recoil spring shot out and I spent the rest of the day getting the Genie back in the bottle. Finally got it fixed, but what a pain. Glad to hear other industries are not immune to the parts issues. I work Commercial HVACR. Thanks for the videos.

[@hillbillyrv]

Ha ha. Been there and done that. You always have to be careful with any stored energy.

[@davidstein606]

Great job.

[@daviscrt]

good to see your helper back for a few more jobs. I have the same awning. thanks Don

[@hillbillyrv]

I am really going to miss working with him. He is a fine young man.

[@toddbates1718]

Thank you sir.

[@hillbillyrv]

You are welcome

[@ad886710]

I guess I missed the announcement that you were selling your business. Hope you get what you are looking to get. Assume that means you are "retiring"? Can't tell you how much we're gonna miss your vids, but best of luck as a man of leisure.

[@hillbillyrv]

I am trying. I have a plan to continue the videos.

[@madjack7979]

But yet another job well done guys good info

[@hillbillyrv]

Thanks Mad Jack

[@stefanleblanc4436]

7:54 Hi, thanks for this video, I’m in the same situation. I wonder if it would be possible to roll up the awning at that point and put back the screws ? I would like to check the harness before ordering a new motor, but I need to make sure I can use the RV after, so I need to put back the screws….

[@hillbillyrv]

Yes. It is real tight, but you can get them back in.

[@kathleenrutherford733]

Did you remember to put back those two screws you took out in the beginning? Lol or did you remember when you emptied your pockets at the end of the day?

[@hillbillyrv]

Ha ha. You have been watching my videos. The new motor already had the new screws installed.

[@Reaglesracing44_]

if it’s slow operation take the non motor side out and install the spring from previous generation of dometic awning. works every time

[@hillbillyrv]

Awesome idea.

[@Reaglesracing44_]

@@hillbillyrv works every time! problem is the new 9100 series has a gear reduction motor that can’t handle the torque of the gas props

[@hillbillyrv]

@@Reaglesracing44_ They can't handle a lot of things. ha ha

[@TravelingonAdventures]

Quick question. The motor on a DOmetic is connected to the plastic end cap. Can you just replace the end cap only if broken or is it one whole assembly with the motor?

[@brianhough9235]

The end caps are cast aluminum and come with the motor as one part. You just have to order either white or black. It’s all one part number.

[@hillbillyrv]

@@brianhough9235 Brian is exactly right. The only thing I will ad is, check out my Amazon store. I have those motors there. www.amazon.com/shop/hillbillyrv

[@brianhough9235]

Any tips for a 9100 that is extended with a bad motor but not able to pin the spring end?

[@hillbillyrv]

That is exactly what we did in this video. Just remove the 2 service screws, so you can rotate the tube a little and pin the other end.

[@ScottDLR]

Good vid! Looks like a new motor is well over $600! Is there anything in particular that kills these motors?

[@hillbillyrv]

Water. You would think they would make them water proof since they live outside.

[@ScottDLR]

@@hillbillyrv THx, that's good to know - I'm lucky enough to be able to keep mine in a carport.

[@RADMAN752]

that top pocket must have been heavy

[@hillbillyrv]

??????? Did you send me your address for the signed stickers?

[@jonnyrockets4756]

Shipping is Shipping, nothing you can do about it. If folks want a hat for real , they'll pay. Keep up the good work till you don't have to no more.

[@hillbillyrv]

Thank buddy.

[@jonnyrockets4756]

Your labor is cheap compared to my area. One guy up here is at 200/an hour. Plus 150 to show up. And he's not that good at what he does. But people pay cause not enough guys doing it. I'll be joining the mobile ranks next season, how much for your truck????

[@hillbillyrv]

My labor rate is the same as everybody else in my area. Shoot me an email [e-mail] about the truck.

[@caburchfield1212]

You must of omitted the part of fishing the spine into the 2nd channel when rotating the awning on the tube. That's the part that everyone wants to see and you skipped right over it. SMH

[@hillbillyrv]

I don't even know what you are talking about.
