Re: Zip Dee main electric awning

Electric awning from ZipDee. Make friends with Jimmy at ZipDee. He is like Yoda! He knows those things in and out and can troubleshoot over the phone and save your sanity. I would look in your coach for these things .... #1 The MANUAL. It will tell you what the switches are and what little lights should be working and what they do. VITAL information. It also gives you the phone number for ZipDee, and your new best friend, Jimmy. #2 A long Emergency Retraction Cord. In the case of some of the wiring going bad, or the "brain" in the control box, or old wiring being cracked, or the wiring in the front control arm being damaged (ALL od which has happened to us) You will need this to retract the awning, if it becomes stuck in the open position. The first time we needed this, I had to make my own, by lopping the ends off of an extension cord to get some bare wires attached to the battery and the motor in the main awning. I could have sold tickets to that event! #3 The Manual ... phone number for Jimmy. Honestly, he will be your new brest friend. Happily ... you can print the manual by accessing the website <awningsbyzipdee.com>.
