Pulling Down The Awning On A Nomad Trailer

It worked out quite well and have had no trouble since.

Pulling down the awning on a nomad trailer.

With the help of your awning rod pull the lever of the cam lockdown till you see it in the roll down position which you can read on the writing on the cam lock of the awning. When you re looking for a quick deploying one man operation awning that gives you 129 square feet of shelter you came to the right place. There was not enough left for even a 3 8 lag bolt to grab and after a little thought i used a couple of butterfly bolts to re secure the awning. Unlike other awnings our nomadic 270 requires no poles to set it up because of the pair of reinforced oversize hinges and heavy duty rafters.

Electric powered awnings a big part of purchasing an awning kit or parts is deciding which type of awning you want to install. On my old trailer the top awning mount pulled out of the side of the trailer. There are four main awning styles available including pull style in which you pull a strap to open the awning hand crank in which you rotate a rod to open the awning hardwired which have a motor and must be wired to the rv and battery powered. You can use your hands to pull the strap the rest of the way until the awning is fully extended.

Use the rod to pull the strap straight out opening the awning. If the awning strap has not yet broken insert an awning rod into the loop on the strap and pull to open the awning. Roll out the awning using the awning rod. If the pressure on the apex is too high it is very easy to over tighten the awning especially if using ratchet straps which many people do.

With the cam locks and the travel locks undone you can now go ahead and open the awning. So with your rod go to the center of your awning and you should see a strap. If the strap has broken you will need to manually roll the awning out.
