How to operate an awning on your trailer or RV

[@RJDurham-ds8fq]

Don't usually comment but wanted to say thank you for the straight forward information without any extra bullshit, shenanigans, or trying to sell me some dumb shit i don't need. Respect.

[@hannahrowen1573]

I'm an rv technician and I loved this perfectly tight, seamless instruction my friend. Each camper is SO DIFFERENT in their designs. ❤

[@seanoleary1979]

I know this video is 8 years old, but it is GOLD! I've always had electric awnings on previous campers. I got a great deal on a well taken care of older camper and was perplexed as to how to correctly deploy the awning. THANK YOU!!!!

[@hextremelydesirable1648]

just tried to lower the awning with my dad and neither of us had done it before.. theres a youtube for everything lol... HEX coin $0.035 $PLS coming soon same founder

[@lorenakoran2]

New camper owner and fulltimer here. This was very helpful, thank you! I especially appreciated that you didn't do a five hundred word essay on what you were going to show us first that so many "how to" vloggers tend to do. So, thank you for that too! 🩵

[@stiglitd]

Thanks. A neighbor showed me the procedure, but I needed to see it again so I didn't forget, this was perfect!

[@Uno-5Q]

Thank you for taking the time for your video 😀

[@Preachertay]

Thanks! You helped me get our awning back up 😅

[@shawnbarry3893]

Nice job 👍 thank you 💯

[@kingtitan2051]

Great instruction.. We just got an rv with this style awning and the guy who sold it to us I think did not quite know himself lol.. Im happy now.

[@trev777]

Video was a lifesaver. Thank u. Was showing my trailer to sell and had never opened it lmao.

[@jeffblalock4630]

Now that's how a instructional video should be! Thank you

[@mic982]

Seems quite simple, once you see it done. The order of operation is essential. The first time we used our awning we had a bit of trouble getting it re-stowed because we failed to reverse the operation correctly. After some aggravation and frustration, we finally figured it out. Here, the correct sequence is shown clearly.

[@KRoseB]

Thanks for this video! My husband always does the awning. I have done it too. My husband is away and NOAA radio woke me. I could not remember which to do first! You just saved my awning!! 😊

[@claudioleo3806]

I just bought a RV and I was kind confused on how to Open and Close the Awning, also I started to rent my RV and I add your video as a clear instructions ! Thank you so much !

[@craighammes]

Thanks for a great tutorial! Just bought a used trailer and could not figure out how to deploy the awning until I saw your video.

[@MimiDidi121]

Ditto! We're blessed to have folks who take their time to make how to videos! I'm 50something widow and I've changed thermostats, laptop keyboards, installed new garbage disposal all from KZbin tutorials! Now I've purchased a used 18' Airstream RV and I knew nothing about how to do anything on an RV. Other than common sense, I've learned everything else via KZbin!

[@ronohlsi2262]

Radical! We bought a travel trailer from a coworker last summer. 3 outings & we couldn't figure out how to get that thing out. Thanks for the awning for dummies video.

[@jrvane11]

Great demo! I have this saved and have referred to it several times because I use the RV infrequently. 😀

[@kristinlynnkjos-tanner2105]

THANK you for the simplified way to open and close down a manual owning. Tw, I am a female and I can do jt just as good as these boys out here. You made it very easy..... Kristin from Cali....👍

[@Trailerseast]

You are welcome!

[@goththugster]

Agree, this is best video on this topic. Great job!

[@ottomatic7997]

It might be that I'm kinda high, but the wind hitting the microphone in the video literally sounds likes it's coming from 2 ft beside my laptop and it's completely blowing my mind right now o.O

[@Vitalbowhunting]

You just made my day reading this. Hope all is well.

[@Trailerseast]

Fa sho!

[@nazarayah]

❤😂🎉

[@hannahrowen1573]

It's amazing the dozens of little things required to do a scene. I used to be an extra...dozens of things ruin their scenes, dropping several famous names here I was shooting with.... GREAT JOB , FINALLY GOT MINE PULLED OUT AFTER 3 YRS OF OWNING THIS RIG. NICE VOICE CLEAR CONCISE INSTRUCTIONS SPEAKS ENGLISH VERY WELL, GOD I APPRECIATE THIS CLIP. I DIDN'T NOTICE WIND

[@jonconley4424]

Same! 😂 Now I'm wondering if I'm a little high 🤔 😂😂

[@dangerousliberty]

3:17 if you angle your awning to shed rain, put a floormat, piece of wood, bucket lid on the ground to keep the runoff from digging a hole

[@Havasu-Hitman]

Thanks for the video, much appreciated 😎🤙

[@seeking406]

Thank you there are other videos out there and i learned more from your than any of them. Thank you

[@elusiveeskimo3013]

Good video for basic operation but skipped two very important steps. First is about the rafter arms. When opening the awning, before you tighten the black knob put some downward pressure on the outer end of the awning arm. Maintaining this downward pressure while tightening the black knobs will add tension to the awning fabric so it's not so loose and sagging looking. The second is an optional step about the awning arms, so they're not angled downward in the way of your freely walk under your awning from front or back of your trailer. Pressing the switch where the awning arm connects to the lower side of you trailer releases them so the arm can be swung outward, placed on the ground like a support post. The holes are there so you can stake then to the ground, keeping them in place which will avoid damaging the awning if things get windy. Doing this optional step adds one step to closing the awning cause you first have to clip the awning arms back onto the side of the trailer. Then follow the rest of the steps in this video for closing the awning.

[@SarasotaTim]

You’re supposed to press the awning down before tightening the screw knobs on the arms to make the awning more taught.

[@MrBigbeefers]

that was awesome explaining helped me out a lot thank you.

[@obus4186]

I've used this video so many times, it's the best guide. Thank you

[@Trailerseast]

great to hear! Thanks!

[@melburns4378]

I found that rod in the closet and was going to throw it out because I couldn't figure out what it was for.

[@jamespate91372]

Thanks for the info. Was going crazy trying to get it to unrole.

[@nascarmadman]

Thanks for that. We haven't deployed our awning in while due to excess shade (it's a good thing to have) at the last several campsites so we kinda forgot!

[@ImpalamansGarage]

Excellent demonstration. Thanks.

[@johndias6614]

Thank you for the informative video. I bought a used trailer so this helped. Now is there a video on how to replace a torn up awning. I just opened this for the first time and SURPRISE!

[@ttackett1533]

the pull down strap should be centered, rather than all the way to one side, as he has it. That's why the awning didn't want to come down evenly.

[@KSparks80]

Yes. Leave it in the center. You can slide it out of the way to either side after you're done opening it. Just be sure to slide it to the center before you roll it up. It'll be a lot easier to open it up evenly that way, instead of pulling on just one end of the roller.

[@christinewilson7617]

Thank you. Was having a struggle. Very clear instructions.

[@Trailerseast]

+Christine Wilson , I'm so glad we could help. Thanks for the encouraging feedback.

[@emilyeverything9924]

Thank you so much for this video! I was losing my mind trying to retract my awning for a storm lol

[@DawnXXOO]

Thank You! I have been setting up the “arms” incorrectly for two years! It never made sense but NOW it does!

[@laurelsoden8599]

Wow, this is a well done video! I shoulda watched it before trying with manual. Pictures didn't match my awning so ended up breaking a travel lock and the pull up lever used to adjust. (Bought used) Now I have a perfect guide. Thanks Much!

[@b_nes6093]

Well done. Very informative and to the point. 👍💯

[@Limeylad73]

Great video mate.....simple and easy to follow...thx

[@beccamcfarland559]

[@carlabaker6847]

Thank you for your demonstration. Very easy to follow.

[@dianep1999]

Thank God for your videos

[@donklaing]

Can we pull the awning all the way down and leave it at a better angle to access and clean it?

[@ralpherives3927]

Thankyou your video helped this first timer

[@RALTBOB1]

Thank you that was very helpful

[@esmeraldafabian911]

Thank you for your video, you saved us from breaking it 😂

[@Ducktruckful]

when rolling back if awning won't roll up up on its own, does that mean spring inside is broken?

[@derekdavidson3205]

Great video thanks for sharing

[@matthewpace5834]

Great video. Thanks.

[@lindanichols7893]

Thank you for posting this it was just what I needed

[@Radgen-br2ic]

You should have pushed on the arms to tension the awning before tightening the knows. Your way eill cause the awning to flap in the wind and eventually rip.

[@alejandrorafaelgamezandrad9229]

You did a great video you did it very well simple i like that sir

[@saulfernandez8876]

txs great!

[@sic-n-tiredtired4273]

That would be great but it would be nice to a close-up of that push button you used to release it I can't find it on mine

[@rvnomadicfamily550]

Perfect! Thank you

[@rvgrandmacharlotte4604]

If you do a lesson do it right. I have never seen the awning strap to pull it out with at the end. It should be in the middle so it pulls both sides evenly.

[@Trailerseast]

Thanks for your kind feedback

[@perlaeterna]

I can't see what you are doing.

[@calabub456]

thanks bro

[@akextremerickert]

Thanks I was too dumb to figure mine out

[@YourCatOverlord]

[@virginiastirnweis.6496]

Be better if the person videoing was next to the person doing the stuff so we could see exactly what is being done. Stupid not to do that

[@Trailerseast]

Thanks for your kind feedback. We’ll do that next time.

[@stacase]

It's not that easy

[@bozenatrot1428]

Completely useless
