awning

Just Picked up our new 2300RE on Friday, Wow what a living room. We debated over the 2900MK qnd the RE. All the neighbors came over to see the new coach and we ended up talking about 3hrs. The coach is excellent during our PDI we tested everything even the electric awning. Well Today I tried...

Each of our slide awnings has a small piece of metal next t it attached to the side of the trailer. It is about 2.5 " square and rises towards the centre with a 1/4" grove in the centre. It doesn't attach to anything or have any moving parts. I was wondering what it was for, is it to attach...

We have a 2010 Big Horn believe it is a 3670RL, would like to purchase an awning room for outside space. Know what kind I should buy?:p Thank you

I have a manual awning on my 3600re. It seems to roll up crooked, meaning it is tight against the side on one end, but is loose on the other. This lets it flop in & out a couple of inches going down the road. Is there an adjustment?

My husband and I picked up our new Bighorn, 3670 a few days ago. It came with an electric awning, my question is... what happens when you get a lot of rain. With our old 5th wheel, we could lower one side of the awning to allow rain to runoff, doesn't seem possible with the electric awning.

I went to work with my awning out about 4ft. While I was at work the wind kicked up and did some damage. The front top mount pulled out from the trailer and the holes are now stripped out. The sliding lever/pivot near the door is made of pot metal and snapped in half. The lower mount by the...

Is there a trick to putting it in and out a one man operation? And is a ladder required? It just seems more difficult than it should be. Does anyone have a brochure that shows exactly how to do this? I don't know if Heartland used the same awnings product wide before they went to electric...

Hello, I have a 2009 Sundance 2998RB fifth wheel. I need to put slideout awnings on those 3 slideout. It just took camping trip to learn the hard way. I had to get up top and sweep off those slideouts. It's a great view from up top, but quite a few strange looks though. I just wanted to...

We would like to purchase a 305 RW. Everything about the unit is perfect, except the placement and length of the awning. Would it be possible to order a unit with a manual awning that starts at the front of the front door, and ends after the rear window in the garage. We realize the pourch light...

Has anyone added a window awning to their North Trail? Is it best to call Heartland in order to get a schematic ?

Our new 3600RE will have an electric awning. We spend the winters in the RGV where most of the time it is very windy. Last winter we left our manual awning out the whole time utilizing hold down straps and several deflapping devices. There were absolutely no problems in doing this. Will this be...

A quick question regarding electric awnings: On my new Bighorn I have a electric awning and on my old 5er I had a manual style. The thing I liked about the manual style is when it was all lock in place it seemed to be more sturdy then the electric, I also had a center support on the...

I will be ordering my Eagle Ridge 29 SBRL middle of next week. One of the upgrades I am considering is the electric awning. Does anyone have one and can you tell me your experience and also who makes them.

Awning worked a few times and now just clicks. The clicking is coming from the awning itself. Got up on a ladder and had my wife move the switch. Any ideas. My dealer is 130 miles away one way.

We have a power awning and it is great. It is easy to extend and retract when conditions warrant. But today we have heavy rain and winds around 20mph. I would like to extend the awning 2 feet to prevent the rain from pouring in the door when it is opened. Has anyone done this? Plus we...

Can I roll up a patio shade on the electric awning the way I do on the manual awning?

I have an electric awning on my 3400 BH. It works ok now, but what happens if I have it extended and it won't come back in? Does anyone know how I would be able to retract it without power? Thanks

I'm a little concerned with the awning mount on my 3500rl. I have not deployed the awning yet, however, during a pre-departure walkaround, I noticed that one of the 3" lag bolts securing the vertical support arms has backed out about 1/2". The lag bolt would not tighten. My question is ---...

I've seen several 5th wheels with a patio awning mounted on a slider. I don't mean a slide topper but a normal size awning to fit on a slider about 10 to 12 feet. Has anyone with a Heartland product mounted or had one mounted on their slider. If so,was it difficult? or Who did it? Did you have...

Does anybody have any input on what are the best awning lights? I have owned alot of them. My Dw bought these stupid latern lights, 2 strands not long enough. We saw some LED ? they looked pretty cool. I don't like the big ball lights. Something original with some light at night.

I have an electric awning on my 3600RL. Since I'm fairly new with this unit and the awning..I'm wondering about tying it down and putting one of those sun shades on it..when we're parked at the camp in Florida for a month. Can anyone give me advice on this?

My door side awning 3/8 coarse thread bracket screws are stripped out. If you follow the arm support of the awning up at the top of the camper I'm talking about the grey bracket. The screws go into the fiberglass of the fiver. Does anybody have any ideas how to fix this ? If you tighten them...

I have a 2009 Big Country 3355 that the power awning will not extend. I have checked the fuses and all are ok. It acts like there is no power. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

We have one of the ultra lights, Sundance 265rk XLT, and we would love to be able to find a roll up type of exterior shade for our large slide out. Has anyone done this, and if so, where did you get them? Thanks for your input! :D Rick and Janine

I have a one month old 2009 Sundance 3200ES fifth wheel. When I open my entrance door it rubs on the underside of my power awning which is fully extended. The dealers response is to install a small wheel on the top or the door. I feel this will through time leave a mark on my awning and it will...

My new Sundance has a problem,when I open the entrance door it rubs on underside of the power awning, my dealer tells me the only answer is to put a wheel on the top of the door, I believe this will leave a mark on the awning, this is a brand new unit and I think that Heartland should come up...

We just got back into the US from our trip to Canada. During our last week we saw rain almost every day. Now I have to go about cleaning it. I am intrested in how you clean your awnings with what. I don't think awning my awning has mold on it yet but it can happen if it is not dried before...

Well... first trip to a local CG we've camped many times in our small rig but now we are a bit bigger -- and oops. The access roads are narrow and tree lined and I've always navigated them carefully and safely before. This time I didn't hug the correct side of the curve and caught the middle...

Hi everyone; Just ordered a BC 3250TS, the dealer will send the order on Tuesday and now I think I will maybe add the electric awning. Looking for pros and cons about it. Any help will be appreciated. Bigchief

We have an '09 3055RL BH 5th. The electric awning was great, at first; however, we now have trouble with it going in properly. It is out of wack. We contacted Heartland, twice, and were told to leave a message, we did, no response. We contacted Dometic and were never able to get a user...

Has anyone had any issues with the A&E slide-out awnings? All three of mine have small tears in them.

Somehow, the door should be shifted, or the awning lengthened. When it rains, the awning doesn't really "protect" the door....due to the edge of the awning being almost absolutely equal to the edge of the door. Still love the rig though.

Has anyone installed an awning on the slideout on the door side in order to give yourself more shade for chairs, etc.? We saw this done on the Mobile Suites and are going to look into having a 12 foot two step awning installed on our Grand Canyon but were wondering if anyone else has done...
