Tight awning poles

[Marmai]

I have a 2011 Jayco Sport 10. I like to use the awning, but the 3 tension poles are so tight that it's very difficult. Is there a way to adjust them?

Hello,

You can loosen/tighten the poles at each of the joints by turning them clockwise/counterclockwise. This will help lock/unlock them into position when they are slid out. Hope this is what you are referring to.

Twisting will tighten / loosen them (like a shower curtain rod), but on our 2017, I noticed that the middle section has a slight bend to it - just enough to make it hard to extend and retract.

My 92 Jayco works on a spring system. No way to adjust. It's a real biotch. I can adjust the height but not the spring loaded ones.
