Has anyone had similar problems, or can anyone suggest what is wrong and how to fix it.

I appreciate any assistance or advice.
It usually happens when the rubber bumper located at the intersection of the two arms of the forward mount is located on the outside of the roll. The correct location of the bumper is on the coach side of the roll to prevent the arms from damaging the coach's side. As the awning roll moves outward the bumper will keep the outer portion of the arm from extending. As the awning continues to extend, the roll will reach the max extension of the inner part of the arm and the rubber arm will finally ride under the roll and the roll will snap tight with great force possibly break or bend the arm. The solution is to extend the patio awning about 6 inches then stop it and with a long poll push up on the roll. This will allow the rubber bumper to slip under the roll and snap the awning tight. The permanent fix is to realign the forward arm in accordance with the factory service guide. <https://www.carefreeofcolorado.com/documents/Latitude-Service.pdf>
