THANK YOU! Detailed rollout, clear camera shots, nice family!! We tried setting this up on our maiden camper voyage. The Thule instructions have no words, just lots of floating materials and arrows. Needless to say, we provided entertainment for the campground and spent our time awningless. Now, with this video, we're ready for a second round: Us vs.Omnistor 1200!!
Oh my goodness, thank you so much we tried to figure this out on our first time out and gave up! Appreciate the step by step instructions! We have the same trailer and love it! Happy camping
GREAT JOB! We wrestled through ours, on our new 1970 ESP, with the Walk-Through employee, at the dealership. He had never done one. Your wonderful demo streamlined it for us. Grateful.
Thanks for the video! It’s ridiculous how difficult it is to find information about this awning. We tried to take it out in April, gave up, and have continued to search for videos since. Now I can save this one!
Thank you! You all did a great job! We struggled with ours also new. Almost gave up! We watched your struggles like ours. Gotta love engineers...lol Love your last comment..."ugggg". We agree. Our awning had nothing to back up the top mount pole. Our awning is on a teardrop camper. We would not recommend this awning ... way iver engineered.if you find a better answer. Please let us know. Thank you we really appreciated your video. It was helpful!
The design of this awning is incomprehensible. Thank you for the video. Even watching the video and with a helper, I still can’t get the thing to work. Forest River also mounted the plastic clips too high on the side, so they could not be fully opened to accept the clip/bracket thing. This has been a terribly frustrating experience. Great video though!
Thank you so much!!!! The dealer didn't even show us this much......I'm not sure they even knew how to put it up! ;) Appreciate it! We sure don't like the design and hope it gets easier to put up.
Thanks for the video! There was no info on this awning / setup in our brand new rockwood freedom package or at thule's website. I thought they may have played a joke on us Canadians at the factory by not giving us a manual😂. We did have teenage children with us for assistance, however it required a significant payout with cheetos and pizza. Thanks for the video
Wish i would have found your vid an hour ago, i said fawkit and rolled it back up...almost wanted to demo the awning. Great vid and will use it on my next attempt 🤣.
For some reason this video doesn't show up on the search, even typed in exactly the way it is. Thanks for sharing, we have the same awning and we were wondering if we were doing it right. I think we do it exactly the same as you including switching sides and minor technical difficulties lol. As you said, practice makes perfect. Happy camping
Loved your video. Question… we tend to have to play with raising and lowering the camper to put the door in. What would happen if we did that with the awning already in place? The red taunt code popped out & no longer a good guid. Thanks for any help.
The door/roof height has to be done first! Whether you ou want to drop the awning before raising the roof or use a step stool to get it down is your choice. But door/roof first
Great video as we were ready to call it quits and buy the dometic awning. My question for you is, when you installed your door, did the awning create a gap at the top of the door, not allowing you to latch it in place?
We just used our 2023 Rockwood Freedom this weekend as I write this for the first time. It swayed the top of the roof so bad there was a 1.5" gap and couldn't secure the top of the door as well. Did you find a remedy to this issue?
Thanks for this very informative video! This is soooo complicated to install its frustrating. We avoid using it because of its complexity. Wish I had the dometic one :)
For a $25,000 trailer (our just bought) this seems very confusing and rather stupid. Our 99 Coleman tent trailer was soooo much simpler. Over engineered by by AI's and non-camping hicks in my opinion.

Oh my god !!!!! Thank you for this …… I have been fighting this all last season
LIFESAVER! You just saved my summer and my marriage!

Thanks for the lesson, couldn't have done it without you...I know because we've been trying for quite a while!!
Thanks for the video! It’s ridiculous how difficult it is to find information about this awning. We tried to take it out in April, gave up, and have continued to search for videos since. Now I can save this one!
💯
I agree! New to camping and pop ups, couldn't find any information on this awning in our rockwood trailer package or online!
Agreed! Never showed us at the dealership. Had not clue when i called and there are no insteuctions
I know this is an old video but thank you for making this video. It made our awning setup way less of a headache.
Thank you!
You all did a great job!
We struggled with ours also new. Almost gave up!
We watched your struggles like ours. Gotta love engineers...lol

OMG -- so much easier than the prep / walk through experience that we had today. Great video!
You are awesome!! Thank you so much for this!

Thank you for this video. This issue was driving us nuts.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I was struggling hard trying to figure the dang thing out!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
Dude! THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!! No more squinting for us!!!

😂😂😂very informative, and very entertaining. Thanks!
Omg Thanks. My wife and I got so frustrated with this thing
I tried to set this up alone at home to practice. I used quite a few cuss words. My right awing pole cam lever was missing so it make it difficult.
Should mention that the levers on the poles LOOK the same but had totally different functions
Here is the installation, set up, and take down. Thank you for your video.
