Any guideance info on this would be appreciated. Again, my general manual does not say anything on this.

The fwd awning extends but won't retract using either the In-Command control panel in the coach or the iPhone app. Went to the basement at the main control panel with a manual selector switch set to fwd awning and the awning did retract and the other control options also functioned. BUT now what ever switches the polarity to retract the awning has failed cant trigger the awning to extend at all.

When I cycle the In-Command control panel or the manual override (switch in the basement) to extend or retract I hear distinctly a clicking sound from behind the main panel. I am assuming there is a relay on the panel but I cant identify which one is it. I tried removing 5 relays and operating the switch but had no affect on the clicking (wrong relay?). I suppose I could continue removing the remaining relays one at a time and maybe get lucky? I am hoping someone out here on this blog could confirm or correct my one assumption and get me looking at the best solution or troubleshooting method.

The good news is the awning will roll up while triggering the extend mode so we can travel but still need some help finding the switch or relay that operates the awning controls. Or perhaps it is in the awning drive head if that is the case then I have an extra drive head at home and can replace it upon our return.

It would be nice if I could separate the false floor from the slideout without disturbing the carpet however it appears to be securely fastened to the floor and walls with staples and screws. I would appreciate any direction and experience. We have a 2015 Crossroads Lincoln front livingroom 5th wheel. The sleeper sofa is located over this area with the entertainment area located in the opposing slideout.

Thank You in Advance,

The Slide Toppers are stating to get brittle and tear along the track edges and the Main Awning is also showing some tears at the roller tube edge so I am looking at replacing them.

I have been on the Tough Awnings website looking at their product, looks good and should last for many years. I do not know if anybody has had experience with Tough Awnings or has other suggestions for other Awning Fabric but comments or suggestions appreciated.

Have not decided on the color yet, not sure if I am going with a darker color or lighter color this time. Looking at either a chocolate brown or a champagne color.

I know slide toppers are a Love / Hate thing, some love them, some hate them. We love ours, with 5 slide outs and being in the southeast most of the time we get a lot of sun (which the awnings help with the summer heat) and a lot of leaves, nuts and others things from trees on top of our roof and slides. The slide awnings prevent having to go clean off the tops of the awnings every time we move and when it is raining we do not have a slide roof loaded with water when bring it in to move. I installed our Slide awnings 6 years ago and put them on with a little more pitch than the factory typically does and we have good tension on our awnings. Due to how I installed them we have never had water pooling on top of our awnings in 6 years of fulltime use and we even rode out a hurricane a few years back (yes they did flap some during the hurricane) and on very windy days they will flap some.

Has anybody else replaced their slide topper or awning material and has comments, suggestions, tips for us, it would be appreciated.
