Omnistor awning gear assembly replacement (1 Viewer)

[discokid]

Has anyone replaced the gear assembly on an Omnistor awning? Just wondering how straightforward it is. On my Autotrail Tracker the awning is recessed so will I have to remove the awning in order to replace the gear assembly and coupling or can it be fitted easily in situ?
My awning is fully wound in but the casing won’t click and lock. I presume the awning is still secure in its housing?

Does the gearbox still work ?
Have you tried winding the awning completely all the way out, then winding it back in ? I've had to do that a couple of times when my Fiamma hasn't clicked in.

There’s a lot of clicking sounds as I wind the awning back in. Once it’s fully in the cover won’t click and shut fully. Just a clicking noise from the gear assembly as if something is not engaging to close it shut.

Ah, got you. Sounds like something's coming away inside, shame about having it "inbuilt" With the Fiamma one, you can just slip the end cover off to check things.
Looks like Rose Awnings might be your best shout ?
