Re tension dometic awning. The cotter pins are the ones that lock the spring tension securely while taking down the rv awning. Reattach the rear awning leg and lower both leg sections completely. You can leave the support arms hanging freely but it might help to simply slide the stops back into the leg channel. When you release the tension in the spring the cotter pin that is inserted in the holes in the awning arms are removed.

I got the first panel done and assumed that all i had to do was wind the entire tube 8 turns etc. 1 lower the awning so the roller tube is as close to the ground as possible. We should test the tension before doing anything else. If it s suitable you re finished.

The tension arms are what you adjust to make the awning taut after it has been lowered. 2 the support arm consists of an outer and inner section. View a complete step by step instructional tutorial for replacement of a new or damaged solera manual awning spring assembly. Step 1 prepare to re insert the cotter pin.

Dometic door awnings are available in white black champagne and silver as well as in manual and electric versions. Remove the 2 phillips head screws from the bottom end of the outer section. You do not need to put the screws back in. Once you ve reassembled both arms check the awning tension.

The dometic door awning is totally enclosed in an all metal case. Loosen the tension knob you tightened at the beginning of the process. I am making a new fabric panel to replace the 2002 tablecloth fabric that disintegrated.
