Power Awning Issues (Solera) on a 2014 Fun Finder 214WSD
Hi all,
We've had our travel trailer for over a year and after not being used for about 2 months over the winter, we started having issues with our power awning.
When we first tried to extend our awning, nothing would work. We eventually had to start it manually near the motor, and after getting it started, it extended with no problem. It would extend normally, but would struggle retracting. After a few inches retracting, the relay behind the control panel would trip out. And every now and then, it would stop altogether, and would start up again after taking a few breaks.
I read that it may be because of the power wire it came with (16 gauge) is not powerful enough, so we replaced it with a 12 gauge wire. However, that did not work.
Could the motor be bad even though it would extend fine but not retract properly? Or could it be any other issues?
Thank you for your time and any suggestions you may have.
Tim
