806 series awning

I have a 2005 jayco series 806 and am having trouble setting up the awning... I have the basic directions but it seems there are more poles included than necessary. Do they just provide extra poles? Anyone know any tricks for setting this thing up?

Thanks.

Awnings can change a bit depending on which manufacturer was being used at the time yours was built. Our 1007 from a couple years later had 9 pole sections. The rafter poles were two pieces each, with a "crutch tip" end and a male post fitting on the other end. The riser poles were one piece extendable, with a hoop fitting at the top. The eave pole was semi-permanently mounted in the awning fabric. If this sounds like your setup, read on.

General procedure was to drop the awning down against the camper once the roof was up in place. It can be easier to zip the bag open and undo all but the last strap holding the awning rolled before raising the roof; leave the strap closest to the step done up so you can reach.

Prepare the center rafter pole and riser pole. Pull the awning fabric away from the side, and put the soft pole end against roof side (our Fleetwood pup before that had a similar setup, but there was a fitting on the roof side). Compress the rafter pole spring insert the male post through the riser pole hoop and insert into the hole on the eave pole. Now the awning is standing if wobbly. Complete the left and right side rafter/riser poles. lift the riser poles to the correct height, and adjust to compensate for uneven ground.

If you have an outdoor room, the process may be more complicated. Our Jayco room was pretty easy with the Velcro wall attachments, but our former one was more difficult.

Hope that helps!
