Awning stuck - help wanted!

[California Dreamer]

Hi we are having a problem - our awning got completely stuck in the open position and my husband broke the crank handle trying to close it. Embarrassingly we’ve had no choice but to call vw assist as we can’t go anywhere! Has this happened to anyone else? Any advice? We’re in burford cmcc site so there could be worse places to be stranded

I had a similar experience the first time I opened the awning during my recent trip to France. It seemed to lock in the fully extended position and required a bit of force to break the 'lock' and get it to retract. Hopefully with more use it will loosen up.

The lovely vw assist man has sorted it with big strong pliers thank goodness! Hopefully all we need is a new crank handle and I’ll cross my fingers it never happens again. All an adventure!!
