How to Use A&E Power Awning
An awning provides increased comfort by creating a covered patio on the front of your fifth-wheel, travel trailer or recreational vehicle. An A&E power awning offers convenience because you can press a button to open or close it. Manual and power awnings serve the same purpose, but anyone who has ever struggled to close a manual awning in strong winds or heavy rain understands the convenience of controlling an awning with a remote rocker switch located inside the camper. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
Inspect the awning to confirm it is fully closed before moving the RV or camper.
Retract the awning during high winds or heavy rain to prevent damage to the fabric and assembly.
Always close the awning when you leave the RV or camper to prevent damage in the event of inclement weather while you are away.
Servicing the awning is required before future use if the awning was manually closed. Take the RV or camper to a service technician before use.
Avoid contacting the arms of the awning while it is extending or retracting. Touching the arms during operation can cause serious injury.
