RV Sales presents tips on using awnings including the
set up and the retraction of awnings to protect them
from the wind and other elements.
RV awnings are mainly used to shade your RV from the sun and to a
limited extent prevent light rain from coming in.
However with heavy rains and winds, awnings can cause more harm than
good.
Here are some tips to keep in mind on order to set up and protect your
awning from the elements:
-
Understand how to use the awning by practicing setting it up
-
Keep any moving parts lubricated by using WD-40 or similar
lubricants to prevent any oxidation
-
Keep your awning clean
-
If you require, reinforce your awning with hardware or special
awning straps contact us and we can help you find those items
-
secure your awning for travel
-
practice retracting your awning to ensure that you can do it in an
efficient manner.
-
the best bet is to roll up your awning during heavy winds or serious
storms
