electric awning 2008 Jayco 25rks

Howdy, just thought I'd pass along a problem with the carefree awning on my TT. Went to put it out and BLAM! it free fell to the open position. long story short.... small steel gear in the motor assembly of the leading arm BROKE. It is at the dealer at the present time, still under warrenty. But it could have been bad had someone been standing in the area. Be careful

Thanks for the heads up, no pun intended. Someone could get hurt bad if that roller comes down on their head hard.
