View, Navion and Era Awning Recall 22V-695

[Ejdobbs]

I just received recall notice 22V-695 re:retractable awning. For 2020-2023 View, Navion and Era Motorhomes.
Is there a way to disable the awning to ensure that it does not open during travel. Can a fuse be removed to disconnect power to the awning will traveling?

Hi - Not sure what motorhome you have, but if it is a View / Navion - I do know of an easy way.

The circuit breaker for the awning is located in the CB panel in the outboard base of the passenger seat. When you open the passenger door you can see it plainly enough. The 15 amp awning breaker is on the second row. If you lift up the styrofoam dust cover under the seat, you’ll see the yellow power wire on the back of the CB. If you pull the spade connector off, you’ll disable the awning. There is a blank slot right above it on our ‘21 View, so it was easy enough to get at.

Cheers,

Our 2022 Travato has the same recall. However, the Travato awning has a fuse rather than a breaker, which one can simply pull.



Winnebago recommends then wrapping the awning with ties or wire to hold it in place, although, since this is an electrical problem, cutting off the electricity should solve it until the problem is corrected.
