Hi. Fully wound out the awning on my March 2017 Ocean. Its been rattling, became very bad and took it to dealers on Thursday.
Suggestion was that it was not wound it hard enough. A short test ride later and all seemed well.
Rattle reappeared today. Tried pads where legs fit into the cassette but no better. Off to France on ferry tonight so cannot go back to dealer for a few weeks...
Would it out fully for first time and these obvious impressions, with one actual pin hole are evident. Almost staple spacing. Will be e mailing dealer and asking that a replacement is available on our return.
1. Any ideas what could be causing those "staple" impressions, please. Will take duct tape in case it tears on hols..
2. I have seen previous posting on rattly awnings but not conclusive on cause/cure - other than replacement.
Silly boy, but not had the need to fully open the awning til now.
Cheers
