Question... Wr are new to RV with a 2014 Minnie Winnie 31H. We have an awning for the front part. My question is can a manual awning be applied to the back slide-out? That way we can have shade for the entire passage side of the MH. Thanks
That's going to be a tough one my friend. The arms of your current awning on the 31H are to close to the slide out to install a second awning next to it. The only other way to do it would be to remove your current awning and replace it with a full length awning and that in itself will have inherent problems. I honestly think it would be best to not do it for fear of damages that will most likely happen to the awning.
@DavidB Thank you, We will just go with a pop up tent for shade if needed. Your response was helpful and timely.
@Jaymie There may be a way. I have a 2019 Forester bunkhouse model and have a bunk slide on the rear of the passenger side. Our to this the awning on my unit is only 11ft. In doing research I found the Carefree Pioneer manual awning. It comes in custom lengths, besides the standard ones. They also have a short arm kit for it. If the short arms fit the height of your slide wall it may be able to be done. One good thing about it is it's a crank style and the whole unit weighs around 25 to 30 pounds so it should not put any stress on the slide wall itself.
@JeffD Thank you! I'll let hubby know and see what he thinks.
Need to locate the serial numbers to know what to buy.
@Charlie what serial numbers are you looking for? Are you replacing an existing awning or installing from scratch? Have you considered a complete kit?
I go awning to put on but when I took it down it on wind on me so what do I need to do for I can put a new canvas on
From my understanding you are able to wind the tension back up on awnings. I do recommend checking with the manufacturer though in case they have any specific ways you need to go about this.
