Test for awning source power problem

My awning comes in and out at a reasonable rate.

I know because I set up a way to pull it in case of a dead battery.

To test for a power problem in the source wiring.
Get access to the awning switch and measure the 12V source (+ & gnd) on that switch while running the awning in-out. The voltage should not drop when running vs not. If so then there is a resistance somewhere in the wiring to the switch, like a bad ground.

Note my awning switch has both the +12 and ground connected to the switch. The motor is powered by a 2 wire cable i.e. the ground for the motor is not obtained in the awning frame. I am not sure all are wired that way.

The manufacturer or search online for parts. Write down your awning length, model and SN numbers. Year of the RV is usual the year of the awning.

I know that it's a carefree model but can't tell from the attached sticker what the serial number is or whether it is an eclipse or another type of system. Awning length is 10'

Sorry if I missed something in this post, but why don’t you call or email jayco with your vin number? Shouldn’t they have that serial number on your built sheet? I just did to find out the house battery they installed.
