It is not that hard to open it again when you get back unless you have a blister on your finger. The awning is not something that has to be put down and left there the entire time you are in place.īingo I never trust the wind sensor to do what I can do myself and that is close the awning when I am not there. Ease of movement is what I like about the powered awning. If I am going to be away for a period of time in my car I put up the awning. If I am going to be away from the coach and I think the wind will blow I put up the awning. Why even bother with the wind sensor? I haven't used mine for six years. Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain tow bar/US Gear I think they need to take lessons from Fantastic Fan. When I talked to my local RV repair shop about how lousy Dometic's customer service is, he replied that you don't even want to deal with Carefree. That leaves the old sensor since you (and I) have a hole in the roof. In order to fix the wind sensor, you have to replace both the sensor and the brain (box). The new configuration is one that is mounted on the awning framework. My computer beat me at chess once but it was no match for me at kickboxing.ĭometic no longer makes the wind sensor we all have.

Good luck to Us Both!īoy, was that accurate information. Wait and see after it gets warmer before you do any thing.
I went out to see how it was today, lots warmer and the buzzer was off. WE just had the same problem and going thru past items on this and the other RV sites, I came accross one answer was to wait until it gets warm OR go out there with a heet gun and warm it up a litle.

With luck the sensor can be replaced on the third visit.Īfter the warranty runs out very few people replace them because Weather Pro will not sell the sensor by itself and the total electronics package is very expensive. The second visit is for the dealer to open the package and discover that the wrong model was shipped. This first trip is to have the dealer verify that your sensor has failed and for them to order a replacement sensor and bay electronics from Weather Pro. Yours should still be under warranty so you will have to make two or three trips to a dealer to get it replaced. Those sensors only last from one to two years before they fail. Welcome to the rapidly expanding club of people with failed wind sensors. Since going to a shop for something like that probably costs lots of money, I wonder if anyone on the forum might know if there is anything I can do myself to fix the problem. After going to the owner's manual, I find that if a beeping sound is heard I need to turn "off" the wind sensor feature and contact a trained expert to fix the thing. When I disengage the wind sensor function on the control box the beeping sound goes off. When my wind sensor switch is switched to the "on" position I hear a beeping sound.

The cable from the sensor looks like a telephone line and has a telephone connector. I know you indicated you turned off the sensor which should eliminate the sensor but you might try to disconnect the cable coming from the sensor. Wind settings are set to factory standard (18mph), and I have even tried extending it with the wind sensor turned off.
I even double checked to make sure the keys weren't left in the ignition. This is occuring on the calmest possible day - no wind whatsoever.
DOMETIC WEATHERPRO WIND SENSOR FULL
Immediately upon reaching full extension, and sometimes prior to that, it automatically retracts. When I extend the awning it will not stay out. I'll call them on Monday, but thought I'd toss the issue out on the forum to see if anyone has suggestions. I have a new Dometic WeatherPro that is malfunctioning and the small user's guide is proving to be no help.
