Car Awnings Dont Work

Take some time inspecting the awning for any signs of warping weather damage rusting tearing in the awning fabric itself or the motor overheating and working too hard.

Car awnings dont work.

This buyer s guide will look at some of the best vehicle awnings available today. If there is no sound then it could be a completely failed motor or even just the switch. Vehicle awnings are a smart way for off road truck and jeep owners to get a break from the sun on those hot days. The awning itself retracts into a pvc polyester cover and is then secured into a very tough nylon bag which is also pvc reinforced.

The telescopic arms could experience a gas leak requiring them to be refilled or your awning could need a new motor which could be a hassle. If it s clicking it could be the gear stripped or even a binding and the motor tries but shuts down due to the binding. The awning is rather long around 2000 mm long so probably not the best car awning but should fit just about any truck and mid size suv. If it is a dometic awing un plug the motor up buy the awning tube an hot wire it to the batterie if the motor works it is the switch i climbed a ladder and had a look down the front awning tube but it s in the closed position.

Simply pull it out and rope the legs into the begs. Although i can see the wire i don t think i can possibly reach down there to get at the connection. Do you hear any type of clicking noise like the motor is trying to bring the awning in or just dead silence.
