#2 curbside (Nova Side Awnings ILO Standard) awning will not extend but motor runs. The shell loosened from the coach a bit so I ran back in assuming some unwinding (ran for 6-10 seconds out) of the tarp. The cover then torqued up against the coach but motor still had power and I shut off. My suspicion is the canvas is a little unrolled inside the cover.
Any ideas to loosen the hard shell cover to run out the awning?
Is it possible that even though it looks fully stowed, it could come loose on the road?


Hitting the road in a few days so experienced observations appreciated.

I would reach out to Girard, 949-259-4000. Of course they are now part of Lippert so may not be as responsive as in the past.
