electric awning barely works on 30 amp

Another awning question gang ,just came back from a 3 week trip and every time I have to hook up to 30 amp the awning barely rolls out and in sometimes I have to help it along by hand while my wife pushes the switch ,when hooked to 50 amp NO PROBLEM i don't get it???? I even turned everything off in the 5er when hooked to 30 amp thinking that would help

Probably a bad battery.

I have no idea why 30 or 50 amp makes any difference as the awning is 12 volt. As HOOK said it may be a bad battery or the battery is not charging

Try checking the connections for corrosion. Could be as simple as that.
