If anyone has the Zipdee slide topper awnings be aware of the problems they can cause. When at Newell I extended the rear slide and it jerked about halfway out then went out. The problem was the spring in the awning was dry and bound up. I drilled a 3/16" hole in the end and sprayed Corrosion X. The awning now works smoothly. I sealed the hole with caulk and will plan to lube it yearly.
