Awning speed

[LarryRH]

The speed of my awning is super slow extending and extracting. Is anyone else having this problem?

HI LarryRH,

Welcome to the Heartland Owners Forum and to the family. We have a great bunch of folks here with lots of information and all willing to share their knowledge when needed.

You might give us a little more information about slow..actually how long does it take, and what unit you have.

Be sure and join our Heartland Owners Club. Then join us at a rally when you can meet lots of the great folks here and make friends for a lifetime.

Enjoy the forum.

I have a 2017 Torque T-29 that takes about a minute to roll in. I replaced the motor last summer and it helped a little. I have found out that heartland makes a very poor trailer, i will be selling it soon and buying something that is made better, the quality control at heartland must be non-existent !

I think you will find that most all of the RV manufacturer's put out about the same build quality.

You might just get a bigger problem child...

Why not just get this one fine tuned and be done with it?

Electric awnings are not very fast to begin with...

Mine runs a little slower than it did when it was new (Prowler is three years old)...

Takes about 30 seconds to roll in or out.

Try and lubricate the awning with a dry lube such as Blaster. I also have been using it on the slide mechanisms as well. Sure quieted them down.

I poured some sugar on a pile of dog crap one time, but it was still a pile of dog crap !
