Those are gas charged struts. Take a new one and see how fast it extends. Your awning is literally being pushed by the strut, it's not pulling the strut out.
I've never heard anyone say this but it makes sense. Thanks for the new knowledge! I'm a first time rv owner of a new 2023 Pioneer and I'm trying to find all the knowledge I can on TH-cam so I can make this thing last many more years!
Thanks Josh! Just bought our first camper with a power awning last year and never even thought of this. This video just popped up on my feed and even though it's a couple of years old, it probably saved me some moola! I should go through your whole list of videos for other nuggets like this.
Josh -. Thank You! My wife and I just bought our first travel trailer, a Jayco 174 BH Baja. We have never heard of that advice. Won't forget it either. Thanks again.
Perusing some of your older videos. THIS here is something I did not know, was not taught and I have never heard anyone else, in the RV on-line world, mention. Thanks for the lesson, Josh. 👍
Josh, I have watched hundreds of hours of RV videos. Whether from dealers, manufacturer reps or whomever, and No One has ever mentioned this fact. Crikey, you are such a wealth of RV information and how to and I'm gobsmacked how complete your coverage of RV how to's is. Thank you so much for adding another RV factoid to my grey matter...which I greatly appreciate as I appreciate all of your " Seminars on Wheel's " Your the best, bill in Florida
Josh, another reason many people open the awnings too quickly, is that many RV centers don't even know.

"We are committed to help you buy your second camper the first time" Brilliant....
We fall into that owning our first rv for a short period. Now in our second one and I wish I had my first one back.
I've been guilty of prematurely pulling my strut to fast
Your the best TH-cam travel trailer video maker. Hands down. Thanks for info
Oohhhhh..... 8 months with our new Laredo. I better start pausing. Thanks for the tip.
Thank u uncle Josh from uncle Joe
Good to know
Thank you so much! I’ve been camping for 40+ years and this is the first time I’ve EVER heard this. I will, from now on, open my awning correctly!
And we all know going “prematurely” is never good.
Thank you, I was never shown, or read about this, when I purchased our RV 10 years ago. Makes total sense.

Another day in class with the RV Professor! Thanks Josh!

Thank you so much Josh. I just purchased a new camper with a setup like this and had no idea.
Wife and i recently bought our first RV camper. Never heard this before. Thanks for the valuable information.
