The awning does not move, moves only slightly, or stops under load.
Mobile diagnosis and repair for awning motors, arms, fabric, wiring, switches, alignment, binding and storm-related damage — right where your RV is parked.
Similar symptoms can have very different causes. Start with what you’re seeing and we’ll work from there.
The awning does not move, moves only slightly, or stops under load.
The awning is stuck open, retracts unevenly, or will not close completely.
One side leads, binds, twists, or the roller does not track correctly.
Bent, broken, loose, or storm-damaged arm assemblies can make the awning unsafe to operate.
Sun damage, tearing, separation, mildew, or age may make fabric replacement the best option.
Switches, wiring, low voltage, control modules or motor circuits may cause intermittent or no operation.
Low voltage, damaged wiring, switches, control modules, mechanical binding, damaged arms, alignment problems and fabric issues can all create similar symptoms.
We start with testing so you understand what failed and why before parts are replaced.
In many cases, awning fabric can be replaced without replacing the complete awning assembly. We can inspect the roller, arms and hardware to determine whether fabric-only replacement is appropriate.
If an awning arm, roller, fabric, or mounting point is badly damaged, the safest immediate repair may be to remove or secure the damaged components before the RV is moved.
MilTech RV can evaluate the condition and recommend whether the awning can be secured, partially removed, or should remain parked until additional repair is completed.
Customer-supplied awning fabric or replacement parts may be installed when the item is correct and compatible with the awning system.
MilTech RV cannot warranty customer-supplied parts or fabric. Additional labor may apply if the supplied item is incorrect, incomplete, damaged, or incompatible with the RV.
“Aron and Sheryl at Miltech were great to work with and they did amazing work. They coordinated directly with my RV manufacturer on a warranty issue, we scheduled an appointment, and they showed up right on time and fixed things very quickly. The quality of work was excellent.”— Mike Sellberg
