How To Retention A Solera Slide Out Awning
Question:
Slide toppers like the Solera RV Slide-Out Awning # LCV000168109 need to be rolled 12 - 16 times for proper tension. When rolling the heads to get the 12-16 times for tension do I have the awning roldup or is this tension done when extended out?

Helpful Expert Reply:
To retention your Solera RV Slide-Out Awning # LCV000168109 you'll want to extend the slide out and can then get on a ladder and get up to the arms. You'll disconnect the extension rod # LC3452072 from the arm and then can roll the arm 12 - 16 times towards the trailer and slip a pin or small screwdriver through the slot in the connection point between the arms and the roller tube to lock the arm in place and then reconnect it to the extension rod.
Once both arms are reset you can roll the roller tube a bit towards the trailer to remove the pins or screwdrivers locking the arms in place and slightly grip the roll tube as it retracts and winds up the fabric on the roller tube. You'll want to run the slide out in and out a few times to get the wrinkles out of the fabric and then you can reinsert the screws holding to the fabric into the extrusion rail.
