How to repair rv awning spring.

Roll the awning all the way out to full extension. Pulling will increase the tear or a hole. Keep your hand on the spring as you release the cotter pin and do not let do suddenly or the spring might pop up and damage the fabric of your rv awning. Insert a cotter pin through the inner shaft at the end tube to lock the spring.

Step 1 extend awning slightly. As you are cleaning go slowly because you don t want to damage the awning more. Release the travel locks on the awning arms and release the cam lock if it still holds at all. I wish to stress again that when attempting rv awning repair the spring pressure must be controlled at all times.

With the help of a cleaner wipe all the dirt mold and mildew away. Pin the opposite awning spring with a cotter pin. Step 1 prepare to re insert the cotter pin. The cotter pins are the ones that lock the spring tension securely while taking down the rv awning.

Extend both awning rafter arms and lock them into place and tighten the hand screws. This helps hold everything in place. When you release the tension in the spring the cotter pin that is inserted in the holes in the awning arms are removed. Step 2 lock spring tension.
