Maintenance

Regular maintenance will prolong the life and performance of your Kohree RV Awning.

• Cleaning: Clean the awning fabric periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the vinyl material. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before retracting.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the fabric for tears, holes, or mildew. Check all frame components, screws, and moving parts for tightness, corrosion, or damage. Lubricate moving parts as needed.
• Storage: Always retract the awning when not in use or during adverse weather conditions (high winds, heavy rain, snow). Ensure the fabric is dry before retracting to prevent mildew.
• Weather Protection: While the fabric is UV resistant and waterproof, prolonged exposure to extreme weather can reduce its lifespan. Consider additional covers if storing the RV for extended periods in harsh conditions.
