Now hook the black pull strap on the awning with your awning rod and pull the strap straight out.
How do you lower your awning on a rv.
Rv awning cleaner is also available.
Once they re unlocked use the end of your awning rod to switch the ratchet mechanism to the open position.
Ideally however you should clean your awning every few months or more frequently as needed.
To open your rv awning first squeeze the support tabs on the awning which will release the travel locks.
So reattach the front leg to the side of the rv and raise it up a bit.
Lower the rear leg detach it from the rv and prop it up on the ladder like we did for the front leg in the previous steps.
Now we need to do the same for the other awning leg.
