Carol:  I have to call Jimmy once and he was so helpful and with the manual in hand I am convinced that I paid for this awning and I am going to use it.  I put it out the other day and the motor worked but the air did not push it up.  Waited 15 minutes and retracted it.  Put it out again right after I turned the main engine off and it worked like it is suppose to and retracted correctly. This awning just requires air at the right level or does not work .  DAN

Dan: I have had to reach out to Jimmy on several occasions and he is just GREAT!  But even Jimmy is gonna have a hard time telling me how to adjust a cockiewampus awning when he can't eyeball it.  That is why I am hoping to be in the presence of at least 2 other awning wranglers when we try and look at this thing.  Until then, I think we are keeping it rolled up!

Carol:  Good Idea. On my 99 I had it out and left for a show (lesson learned) returned to find it full of water and bow in the middle/  Called rv guy and we got it rolled back up and it never come down again until I got to extreme.  DAN

Carol- We are in Livingston, MT. just north of Yellowstone.  Sorry to hear about your mishap.  I think when you open it again assure that you have enough air pressure.  When the arms are out and extended are there any bent parts of the arm?  Are the attaching brackets bent?  When you try to operate the awning do you hear any air coming out any where.  Particularly at the end of the arm where the awning rolls up.

Thanks Scott.  [I've been on this Forum for about six years now and am still learning how to navigate around. I just found a quick way to look for replies to ones posts. sorry fro the delay in getting back to you.]  Thanks for your reply!  Yes, we do enjoy our ZipDee AutoAwn and use it regularly.

I could visualize your posting fairly well as my setup is very similar. The main difference is that I have a slide out utility tray in my bay which will limit the placing of my pancake pump in the same bay.  My MH went back to storage this past weekend but I'll get to it in a few weeks and look to see how I can set up my compressor similar to yours at that time.  Again thanks for your info! ^.^d
