Turn off the RV engine and take the key out of the ignition.

If you have issues after following 16ACE27 advice, use the generator. You might have low voltage.

I had the same problem on my Freedom Elite and running the generator or plugging in made the difference. As above, feeding the motor 14+ volts vs 12ish can make a difference. Most awnings also have a manual retract option. Everybody should know if there is one, what it is and carry the tools needed to accomplish the task.

Thanks everyone! I was able to plug the MH in and with a couple of guys gently pushing in the arms I was able to get it to retract!
I’m going to have a RV tech come check it out!
