Awning

Help the awning on my Four winds will not retract. It moves two or three inches then stops

Depending on the brand it may have a manual retract feature. Basically a bolt head you can turn with a socket wrench. Should be under a rubber cap on the motor. It’s not speedy but it works. But have you tried running the generator while you are retracting or while still on shore power? Especially if your batteries are a bit low there sometimes isn’t enough power to retract against the gas struts. A little extra voltage may be all you need.
