[VAC] Re: Awning Question



	I put the A&E awning service manual up at
http://bryantrv.com/docs2/docs/aeawning.pdf - but the awning still has
quite a lot of tension on the springs in the retracted state.
	If you really want to remove it, at each end there are holes
going through the end cap and axle which will accept cotter pins- this
will keep the tension locked. Then you would detach the rafters at
each end from the trailer, disconnect the bottom feet-  and walk the
whole thing out of the track.
	Replacing it can sometimes be a three person job- two too walk
the awning, and one to feed the awning back in to the track.
