($260-300) I decided instead to eliminate the control box altogether and use two DPDT momentary reverse polarity switches, (Amazon, DC Momentary Reversing Rocker Switch double pole double throw) ( one for the patio awning, the other for the door awning.

I decided to replace the A&E control with one designed for the 9100E, but changed my mind when i determined how much they cost. (Bad Idea!!!)įrom the start the awning did not work properly. The brand new unit was hooked to the original A&E control box.

The OEM awning was replaced with Dometic's Weather Pro 9100E. At one point I replaced the original A&E Power awning because the motor was diagnosed as being defective and a replacement was not available because of Dometic's take over of A&E.

The Dometic/A&E and Carefree certainly are good awnings they just aren’t as friendly when the motor fails the day you want to pack up and leave.My 02 Winnebago Journey has for some time been troublesome in regard to the awnings tendency to stop during extention and/or retraction.

I highly recommend that you perform the manual override on your awning to become familiar with it so you can save your own hide when the fails or to assist a fellow RV’er.

#WEATHERPRO POWER AWNING MOTOR HOW TO#

There is no reason to see a manual on how to perform this procedure, it is really that simple! It goes kind of slow but, it is a life saver compared to Dometic and Carefree of Colorado. You pop the plug out and run the awning in or out by using a 7/16” socket on a cordless drill and pull the trigger. Solera has got this figured out! On the Front arm where the motor lives there is a rubber plug in the motor cover.

That is why I am including a link to Carefree’s website for you to download your manual and get a much better understanding.Ĭarefree of Colorado Awning Instructions: Usually with a little know how you can overcome an obstacle just by a little examination of the motor and how it is attached. Although, they are similar in how to override them, they are all a little bit different. Currently they have 4 Vertical Arm Awnings, 3 Lateral Arm Awnings and 1 Box Awning. Not all of their awnings are available at the retail level, some only come on new units and they are referred to as OEM models. Carefree just can’t help themselves when it comes to reinventing their own awnings. Carefree has about 8 different power awnings on RV’s. In this podcast I explain the process to manually override and a couple models of their awnings but not all of them. If there isn’t 12 volts going to the motor it is a little easier to work with. It doesn’t appear that there is a simple solution to retracting a Carefree power awning with a bad motor. To lock the awning in the closed position tighten the screw on the motor, the same screw you loosened to retract the awning.Ĭarefree of Colorado have their own unique spin on retracting an awning with 12 volt drive motor problems. With the screw loose you can walk the awning towards the RV. After the strap is attached you will loosen the Hex Head Screw on the 12 volt motor that is located on the front of the awning, also called the right side. Before you do the next step you should have a person holding the awning pull strap to keep the awning from retracting out of control.

You need to be aware of that so you understand how the awning operates. The rear of left end of the roller tube has a Torsion Assembly with a spring on it used for tensioning. The 9100 or Weatherpro awning will need to be extended for you to insert the pull strap into the available groove on the Roller Tube. You should have the Pull Strap, if not you will need to purchase one from any RV Parts Store and you can use any Pull Strap for a Dometic/A&E Manual Awning. The awning roller tube has three grooves in it and one of them is for a Pull Strap to be inserted to enable you to be able to control how the awning retracts. There is a reason for this being necessary. The process to override the motor and bring the awning in is the most effective if the awning is fully extended. This applies Only to 12 volt RV Power Awnings.ĭometic/A&E 9100 and Weatherpro Awnings are the same when it comes to retracting them if the motor has failed. I break it down by the awning manufacturer. The emergency is usually when you want to leave in your RV and the Power Awning won’t come in. In Episode 56 I explain the importance of understanding how your Power Awning can be retracted in an emergency.
