As I had explained in my previous post, my electric awning was having issues. My dealer found there was not enough voltage going to the awning and traced the problem to a bad battery on the house side. The battery will be replaced pro-rated under warranty, but it is one of three batteries in my bank. You should not mix new and old batteries, so I have purchased two new batteries to go along with the one being replaced under warranty. The batteries are over 18 months old, even though I have had the MH just 11 months. I guess the chassis sat at the WB plant for a while before the body was put on.
I could have chanced it, but with the expensive electronics in my rig and a cross country trip next June, I chose to err on the side of caution. I'd rather not have to try out my ERS if I can help it.
Best Regards!

Hey Paul, I am glad that the problem is solved! We can reference this solution next time someone has a problem with the awning such as you had. Thanks for coming back and updating us with your findings.

The repair place could not duplicate our problem with our Weather Pro awning and neither could we. We suspect it take hot weather to cause a failure, but it is going in and out fine. Cost us about 15 minutes of shop rate.
