Check to see if it's seized with rust at the threads and pivot joints. You should have a manual crank point on the other side also, just don't get to aggressive and shear the pin like I did. On mine it turned out that the motor was rusted and seized up. I had to remove the motor and replace one...

If it's only torn where the fabric is attached to the RV would the awning work correctly if one had the beading sewn in about an inch in farther? Just a thought.

  The shut off valve on my permanent propane tank leaks a little. Is there a reason that I should not use a valve off of a portable 20# tank?  If so please explain because I can't think of any reason. The RV is a 25 year old class C.                                                             ...
