Thanks for visiting the rv repair club site and the opportunity to assist with your power requirement issues.
Retract a battery operated rv awning manually when batteries do not have enough power.
Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this.
If the awning motor doesn t receive power it will not be able to extend or retract your awning.
Charge or replace the batteries as needed.
There are several problems that can cause the awning not to work correctly.
I have the same awning and it will not deploy if the ignition switch is on or the engine is running.
The awnings are operated with buttons on the motor control or by a remote control.
If the remote control stops working with the awning it needs to be reset.
Remove the wire and get it replaced.
If it does not then the problem lies with the awning wiring.
If it did show 12 v then that means the awning wiring is fine and the issue lies with the motor.
Low 12v power this could be caused by a bad battery or the 12v converter in your rv may have failed or be failing.
The easiest way to check your power is with the battery meter built in to your rv.

Mine also has a small 6 amp circuit breaker resettable in with the other 12 volt breakers.
Check the power connections to see if there is a short in the wiring or the cord is not plugged in.
As you may already figure out there are a wide variety of causes that could lead to the issue of rv 12 volt system not working issue.

Make sure that your ignition switch is off.
The first thing you need to do is identify what components operate on 120 volt power and what draws from the 12 volt dc system.
