Yep Jack!!! You got that one right! Reminds me the French favorite - the Guillotine!!!

Someone has a sacraficial chair to "the power of the center pole!" and the wind!

Peace!

Hi everyone. I am not seeing any place to stick the pin on the end of the center awning bracket on to my ZipDee. Can someone shoot a picture and show me where it is on their unit? Jeese it just doesnt seem I should want to roll the awning out any further than I have.I don't think I have a center roller plate on mine, so I'd like to see what I am looking for ...if anyone is able to provide a picture I would really appreciate it! . Thanks alot Jim

Here you go. Be sure to retension the center support after you move the awning height or arms or retensioned. I have had the center come down and hit the trailer when I did not. Maybe I will wrap a swimming noodle around mine...just in case.

the roller has to be fully unrolled. if you feel the around the roller, at a point even with the pole, you might feel a 'bump'. if you feel the bump, keep unrolling.

No problem, it's a beautiful day and now the dogs are enjoying the shade and maybe I will wash it. So thank you.

When stow the awning I use the center support to keep the awning from rolling up while I lower the end arms. I then hold the awning strap and release the center support and let the awning retract.
