Re - tension that tired loose sagging caravan rollout awning. 

This is an absolutely brilliant video. You have done well very clearly explained and demonstrated with good warnings about the hazard involved. Thank you very much.😊🇦🇺

I cannot tell you how much money you saved me!! I have a 1988 Glendale and was desperate to save her awning (it's in excellent shape). My estimates ranged from a couple hundred to a couple thousand dollars. Most recommended replacing the whole thing. Your video was the first one I watched...and the only one I watched. I fixed it on my own, in about 20 minutes. Thank you so very much! 🤗

Thank you so much because of your video we were able to bring the life back to our awning which saved us a bit of money

Just tensioned my Silverline awning after watching this video. Very well explained. Thanks heaps

Legendary! 5 min job, worked a treat as ours was getting sloppy.

This video was a great help , it only took me less that 5 mins to retention my jayco awning, thanks 🙏

Thanks for the video. Worked fantastic. I had to roll it up halfway multiple times, though not just one rotation as my awning lost all spring tension when it came off in a storm. Your method is great!

Great write up. I need to do this on my 2016 Silverline. Thank you for the step by step process. Cheers

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou, my Carefree on 2006 Jayco was in even worse shape due to other issues. 1/2 hr and 3 rolls of 3 done. no body damage and works better than ever

You are brilliant!! We bought a replacement awning from Carefree, installed it but just could not get the tension up to the strength we needed for the awning to roll in correctly.(As you said - probably just old - 2007 Jayco) Watched your video, followed your directions - WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!!! Thank you so much!

Good job and you still have all of your fingers...that's a win win

Thanks so much for this video. Worked like a charm.

Brilliant. Thanks so much. 👏👏👏

Just another note for you, maybe I didn't watch to the very end! I just re-tensioned mine yesterday and the one thing I did notice was that the other end is also tensionable, but has no locking mechanism to hold the tube in place whilst you turn it. This end needs to be done with care as you have described, but also needs to be done. I believe that when fitting initially it needs 14 turns for correct tension. I had my fabric replaced a year ago and they have likely not tensioned it enough. I did one turn ant the braked end and 3 turns at the other end and it's all good now. Thanks again for your video.

Brilliant!

Excellent thanks.

thanks mate, really excellent video

This method seems to work but it hasn't provided even tension at both ends. The proper method is to wind each end with even turns before placing back on the arms . Winding each each end back to Zero tension then rewind to approximately 15 to 18 turns before replacing on arms.

Whatever you do make sure you smack it with your bare hands as many times as you can I just see if you can make it go around while you’re messing around with what you’re trying to mess with

Thanks mate I have the same van,I need to do the same 🤙

You need to learn to count it appeared you twisted it more than once but hey I was so anxious to see you lose a finger but I wasn’t really counting

Any advice for an awning the rolls loose on one end?

Thanks. Did you adjust the other end also. If so how did you do it

Boring
