This video provides a step-by-step guide for installing the Awnlux Motorized RV Awning, covering preparation, assembly, and wiring.
Preparation
Before installation, ensure the front and rear of the vehicle body are at the same distance from the ground. Refer to the instruction manual for specific fixing point positions based on your canopy size.
Arm Installation
Install the Z-type brackets by punching holes at the marked positions and securing them with M6x16 screws. Insert the left arm into the Z-type bracket, confirm and mark the position, then punch holes and secure with M6x16 screws. Repeat for the right arm.
Fabric Tube Assembly
Arrange the fabric tube. Take out the roller connector from the tube (located in the left and right end caps). Connect the tube piece by piece, aligning the hole positions, and then fix with M6x16 screws. Our fabric roller connector has a prompt line for easy alignment.
Fabric Installation
Unpack the fabric. Insert the valance fabric with the grey polycord. Insert the fabric into the A port, use the pressing plate to press the fabric into the groove of the fabric tube, then insert the grey polycord into the A port. Ensure the fabric is in the middle of the fabric tube. Roll up the fabric as directed and place it on the trailer roof. Insert the top of the fabric into the fabric lock rail, then insert the black polycord into the fabric lock rail.
Connecting Arms to Fabric Tube
Connect the awning left arm with the left fabric tube. Take out the screw on the left fabric tube, align the hole, and insert the screw to connect to the arming left arm. Repeat for the right arm.
Wiring
Prepare a temporary 12V power supply. Connect the black wiring on the switch to the negative (-) of the temporary power supply. Connect the red wiring on the switch to the positive (+) of the temporary power supply. Remember to wrap the wires with electrical tape. Connect the blue wiring on the switch to the brown wire on the awning motor. Connect the white wiring on the switch to the blue wire on the awning motor.
Final Switch Installation
Open the hole in the car wall according to the switch bottom shell size. After connecting with the power supply in the camper, you can use your awning satisfactorily.
