Awnlux Manual Automatic Retractable RV Awning

Installation was easy with good instructions. I am a handy guy not prone to reading them but when I had questions it was not hard to get answers. There were 2 references. The only improvement would be on calculating the height position of the rails. I got it but that aspect could have been better. The adjustments for the limits was tricky at first but soon as I figured it out it went great. Awning is working good. It is awesome to be able to control from inside the motorhome without going outside as I mounted the switch on the cabinet by the door. I find the adjustment knobs for the height of the awning when extended work as long as there is no wind at all. The second there is any little gust the adjustment will slide. The pressure provided by the twisty knob is not enough to hold the position it was adjusted to in any kind of wind gust. Very disconcerting when it happens. I have added a small bungee strap to provide extra force to keep the adjustment in place with lite winds and obviously it has to be retracted for any moderate winds. Does hold better when only extended a little bit. If you want to get better wind resilience you will need to devise a way to secure the roller to the ground via a pole or strap when fully extended. I have seen that done with straps and screening. Overall not as good as others I have seen but this one was much more affordable and is a good product. Was actually not much more than a manual unit. Good buy I like it

The awning is well constructed and solid. I had a slight shipping issue so that's the reason for deducting one star. I replaced the screws for the mounting rail with shorter ones. I also didn't find the main screws that hold the arms to the RV wall were very good. I used another type of self-drilling screw. The instructions weren't great but they were good enough to figure it out. I slid the awning into the groove on the wall first then installed on the roller. Also you should lube the awning and the dowels with something ( I used Super Slick Slick Stuff) . FOLLOW-UP: After I got this installed I proceeded to bend one of the arms. This was purely my fault. My trailer has a latch on the rear that swings more than 180 degrees around to the side of the trailer where the awning was mounted. I closed the awning while the latch was in the way. The motor must have some serious torque because the part that bend was pretty beefy. I contacted Awnlux and sent pictures of the damaged part. They did charge me for shipping the replacement, but the customer service was excellent and the new part got to me very quickly. I'm raising my rating to 5 stars in response to fantastic service.

Better quality than most I have seen. The arms are heavier materials than usual with better fasteners and hardware too. I’m impressed with the 16’ unit I bought and installed myself. Easy enough for most mechanically inclined folks, even with the bad Chinese translated instructions.

All items were good quality. Installation video made up for confusing paper manual. unit has a problem with apparent low voltage to motor under certain conditions

Seller will not reply or contact you back about missing parts , awnings are expensive and should come with all parts listed . Cant install it without without all the parts . Will not buy again .

Worked better than I thought it would. Need to watch mounting so it doesn’t interfere with exit door. We switched out a manual awning with this electric awning.

First the awning is beautiful!! It has a very sleek design and is so much better than my old manual one!! Second - one roller piece was dented in arrival even though the box was not damaged. I used the WhatsApp number and literally chatted with a REAL PERSON!!!!! She looked at my photo gave two options - a replacement or a small discount - I choose to try to fix the dent and use the piece and then sent a photo of it all together. The small discount was put through immediately! If you are looking for an awning this is the place to buy one!!

I purchased this to replace an old awning I had on my LQ 3 Horse Slant. It is so easy to release the lock and hit the button to watch the awning unfold evenly and perfect every time. To close it up, hit the remote and again, you are easily ready to lock up things to leave camp. I LOVE THIS! FYI: Installation wasn't awful to accomplish but you should have some mechanical savy!
