How to repair rv awning spring.

Keep your hand on the spring as you release the cotter pin and do not let do suddenly or the spring might pop up and damage the fabric of your rv awning. Release the travel locks on the awning arms and release the cam lock if it still holds at all. Step 2 lock spring tension. Extend the awning out approximately 1 foot and prop it in place with the board for now.

Step 1 prepare to re insert the cotter pin. Pulling will increase the tear or a hole. When you release the tension in the spring the cotter pin that is inserted in the holes in the awning arms are removed. With the help of a cleaner wipe all the dirt mold and mildew away.

Extend both awning rafter arms and lock them into place and tighten the hand screws. The cotter pins are the ones that lock the spring tension securely while taking down the rv awning. This helps hold everything in place. Step 1 extend awning slightly.

Make sure to wipe the backside too. Pin the opposite awning spring with a cotter pin. Insert a cotter pin through the inner shaft at the end tube to lock the spring. Step 2 drill out the rivets.
