I have a power awning and my fabric just tore. I've cut it off the trailer and the roller. Will I be able to push the arms back against the trailer and secure them or will I need to take them off until I get new a new awning installed?
Generally, the fabric hold the arms against the trailer side when rolled up. The awning arms are spring loaded outward to hold the fabric tight when open.
I would secure both ends or remove the awning completely. I recently had to secure both ends as well since the motor arm was broken due to high winds. I also used 5d strips of gorilla tape on the broken arm to secure it, just keep the tape on the arm and not on the rv.
