Hello all, hope you are keeping safe and well.
Currently DH is galloping through all the repairs to our MoHo and we've just rolled out the Fiamma awning for the first time. The arm on the left side needs a little persuasion to fully extend even after lubricating but it does fully extend in the end. But when we roll it back up, the same end does not fit snugly in it's housing. We're thinking it may have got twisted slightly on that end at some point.
Just wonder if you have any suggestions please?

Fiamma have adjustments for when there is an offset at one end after rolling up an awning.
So def. check out Manic's video links to see if resolving your awning woes are cured by routine maintenance actions.

Thank you so much. We will try the adjustment over the weekend when I've cleaned the awning. I'll report back as to how it goes (y)

Well our awning is much older than the one in the video. MoHo is 2003. There is nothing to adjust. DH tried to turn a piece at the very end of the roll but it does nothing. Any ideas for older models? Can't see any adjustments anywhere.

not long enough
Wind it right out, it might just have wound in on the skew or with a small fold, pull out tight at both ends then try winding in again

but don’t worry too much we have to give ours a helping push at one end, the longer the awning the more likely to happen ?

I’m sure You can adjust the older ones, I seem to remember you could turn a part at the end.

Thank you, we have tried that and it goes back when wound to where you see it in the photo. But even if we push it, it always stays out very slightly.
We're just concerned that when driving along, although it is the end towards the rear of the MoHo, it will get pulled out more if it won't click home.
