I have one that does that, I wind it up until the awning is about 6 inches from the camper then pull the arm over and it locks right in. My theory is that the arms get a little wonky from swaying in the wind. Yours looks a little worse than mine does

I think you can open the awning all the way and then center the fabric within the roller.
It may just be winding up crooked so getting it even might do the trick.

Maybe they, the blind installers, forgot to pin the fabric to the roller. Just takes a screw to pin and then it should not wonk on your very shiny RV thing.

Hmm, I think it is. I'll check it. I do know it's only been happening over the last few trips, maybe i'll wax the awning arms

You can haul over here to Oklahoma with your wax. I'll give you full 50 amp hook up for a wax job on my 3800.

Hello Annette... Can you elaborate a little? How old is the RV? is the awning an aftermarket add-on? Can you send pics?
Welcome to this forum... and Happy 4th!

Ignorance is bliss
Before this post, I did not know I had a problem ughhh
Looked up and mine is the same way. Hmmm. Gave it a minor shove on the arm and pop! Went in with a resounding snap!
It appears to be hanging up on the Motor housing to arm. Will get the ladder tomorrow.
BBQ time today!

Aspen Trail
The camper is new. Had it about 3 months now. It's been in for repairs more than I've used it

That's exactly like mine, I pushed on the arm lightly to move the awning over as I wound it up,, that didnt do it so I ran it back out, and wound it up again, and when it got a few inches from being all the way in I pushed lightly on the awning arms, and it snapped in. But am like you, will get ladder out later today.

That's not right at all. The dealer needs to really repair this problem instead of just using larger screws.

My awning is perfectly square with the camper, has shifted left or right. Not sure why it hangs at the very end, minor inconvenience at this point

I noticed that there are large cotter keys that are installed for shipping and should be pulled out once the awning is installed. Mine were still in it and I removed them and it’s working great.
