I have a dometic 9100 power awning. I caught it on a tree and bent the arms pretty bad. I was going to replace the whole thing and took it all apart until I realized they wanted $1500 for just the parts to replace it. I have straightened most of the parts and ordered a few from Ebay but now to put it back together. I took the motor out of the right end, not sure if that was when the spring unwound. Did not see anything just heard it. Probably lucky from what I have heard on here about the spring. I have to canvas off and the motor off the right end. The roller is on a saw horse. Where do I start to put this thing back together. Spring first motor on , first, canvas on first. I don't know what part to turn to wind the spring. I see know videos that help in my situation. Any help appreciated. Most of the documentation are for manual awnings.
