How much tention should be on the awning? I have had many diferent rigs and none of them had return pressure that would cause the materal to twist enugh to look like it was the start of a thred on a screw. I also have to hang on to this awning very well or it will come up so fast that if it ever got away from me it would do damage to the exterior wall. It is not a large awning only about 15 feet, which is small compaired to the 22 footer on my prevous trailer. should I ask my RV store that I bought it from to loosen it up a few turns.
