Well done Joe! We got the tools but seeing how to properly use them is beyond value and you did a most excellent job explaining the process. I’ll be looking forward to seeing more of you tech videos!!!
This video is a keeper indeed. Thanks for creating and posting it. Super useful. (We have a 27' GT, 2018 model and have had several issues with the awning from time to time.)
Not something even a sane person could do in an unexpected wind gale and dead batteries in Bononseville 😂 I had to disconnect the airstream batteries and jumper my truck to the power. It worked thank God.
I have a 2013 flying cloud RB model. I have a full length awning on the patio side… after I bought the trailer, about 2 years, I noticed that the awning was leaking when it rains with a peculiar pattern…. Long drip lines running roughly halfway down the awning approximately 1.5 feet apart. This is very strange as dirt or other debris will not likely cause a “pattern” like this? I’ve washed the awning and rinsed thoroughly to no avail…. What’s the next move??
I saw a guy cut off the awning fabric with a utility knife then proceeded to hacksaw the arms off his RV that wouldn’t retract Was a KZ Connect not a Airstream. He got up early to leave and awning would not retract, he cursed then got the tools out.
Thank you guys so much for this incredibly clear and helpful video. Problem solved. ❤❤
Our pleasure!

The awning is designed to be a sunshade not a rain awning. We recommend rolling it back when it is raining.
Great stuff. I've got a 2020 Globetrotter 23FB and I don't ever recall getting that manual kit. Can that kit be purchased separately?
Yes, we sell it here through our parts department.
Yeah… I’ll keep my manual ZipDee. Great video, though!
Thanks for chekcing it out.
Great video; but what happened to Patrick?
Thanks for checking out the video. Patrick is here.

Was a KZ Connect not a Airstream. He got up early to leave and awning would not retract, he cursed then got the tools out.
Sounds like a bad start to his day...
Should Zip Dee power awning be lubed and how ? 2021 Globetrotter here.
😜👍
