Top awning coming down issue T6.1 Ocean

[mikeelawson]

I am about to buy a T6.1 Ocean from a private user 2022 and the only issue that I have noticed is that:

- When the awning comes down, looking at it from the front
- It does not appear to come down straight
- i.e. the left side comes down slightly slower than one on the right, so at a slight slant
- However it evetual seal is fine
- Going up is fine

Should I be concerned about this?

Regards,

BOOMEL

No, it’s normal. From people posting on this forum I’d say it’s abnormal for the awning to come down absolutely straight!

That said, there’s wonky and WONKY ! If it comes down very wonky then there’s a good chance one side won’t be closed. It happened to us once when we were pitched on a very slanted (L to R) pitch. Once we had it on the level, we took it up a bit, then lowered it correctly. Just check each time, to be sure.

Yeah, mine does the same thing - left side always lags behind a bit when coming down. As long as it seals properly at the end I wouldn't worry about it, seems to be a common quirk with these awnings.
