THOR #26915
Thor Chateau 28z

Hi new to forum and the first time camping with our new 2022 Thor class C.
We put out the awning, then the wind started. Before I could power in, the awning tried closing then opened out. Closed it for the rest of the day. Opening this morning it evened about 4 feet and stopped. Using a ladderI could see the wiring connection had unplugged. I have tried to reconnect and am not having success.
Any suggestions?

Why can't you reconnect it? Gotta know the problem before solutions can be offered.

Thor Chateau 28Z unplugged awning

You can not see the connecting to replug the cord. It is recessed into a metal cover plate. Even with a flashlight I can’t see the connection point.

Gotcha! You probably need to figure out what Brand/Model awning you have and download/look at the service manual. Lotsa Thor MHs use Carefree of Colorado awnings - there's a list here:

But I took a guess and the below image may help if it applies to your MH (click on it to enlarge):

I got it from this Service Manual:

Be adventurous! I enjoy prying things apart just to see how they work! I admit I've broken lots of stuff being curious, but hey... my theory is if it breaks, it needed replaced anyway!

Or... Be patient and download the manual.

X2, those covers at the top should come off so you can get to the wiring.

And if those covers break, they are easily purchased on Amazon.
