Hi
I noticed on our recent trip that after winding the awning out, unless it was fully wound out to maximum, when winding back in, the awning would not fully close into the canopy box.
On mine, the winding handle is on the left (rear of van as continental door) and this part went into the box flush/ok. But the front end (right) didn't.
This was even after using the awning legs, so no over-stree on the rafter arms.
I wound it out fully and gave both end cogs/mechanisms a good squirt of WD40 and then it wound back in fully.
Next stop on our trip, I had the same issue.
So prior to getting the WD40 out, I wound it back out but fully out, and then wound it back in and it went into the canopy cassette box fully/as should.
Has anyone experienced this?
It's probably the only part of the van that hasn't been serviced.
Anyone stripped their cassette box down to clean it or is it a specialist job?
Thanks a lot!
