    .I was referred to this company by ****** Awning Company. Starting in October 2022 I called them to repair my awning. After two months two of the companys repairmen, ****** and ***** suddenly arrived at my site on November 23rd and tried to replace the motor in my awning. They told me that they could not access the mounting bolts to do the repair, but would refer it to the Owner. *******************************, with ****** and *****, arrived at my site late on the afternoon of December 6. They found and loosened all the awning mounting bolts inside my motorhome then went outside to work on removing the motor. There was great deal of noise and shaking of the motorhome. They came inside and handed me a piece they had cut from the end of my awning housing! ******* said that the awning was glued to the motor home and that they hadnt been able to remove and replace the motor. He said that he could disassemble all the internal awning components, then attempt to remove the awning housing from the motorhome to replace the motor, but it would probably deform it and it would likely never work correctly. ******* then proposed I file a false claim that it had been wind damaged and my insurance would have it completely replaced. He said this was what insurance was for and perfectly normal and he would work with the adjuster and take care of everything. He said he had done this before and knew all the insurance adjusters. The RV Awning company cut off the end without my permission and broke the seal on the top instead of repairing it. Now it is exposed and when it rains the water pours out of the housing directly onto the top of my door seal. Now ******************************* proposes that I pay his company to try to repair the awning for $2200, which he believes will not work, or proceed with a complete removal and replacement for $18,200. I am not going to do either. I am looking for other alternatives. I will not allow them to do anything more to my motorhome. I DO NOT recommend this company.

    This Company now does business as The RV Awning Company of Arizona and touts themselves as certified technicians for all brands. I am writing this review to help others know that this is not a reputable company. Although I was lucky in that I did not pay them anything, they still cost me a lot of ************ indirectly to fix unnecessary issues they caused. I brought my RV to them in **** for a problem that my awning would not retract properly, leaving a gap at one end when closed. After a 30-minute diagnosis I was told that I needed a new cover material because it was stretched. They said it would take a week to get in. It came in late, and I was told it was the wrong size. When they returned in 2 days, I noticed that the material was considerably lighter weight and lower quality than my original and not worth the $1000 quoted. I did agree but during installation, the techs could not adjust it properly and said the owner would come to fix it. It was left worse than my original problem. The owner came and tried to fix it for 2 hours. I was finally told I needed a new motor that would cost another $900, or I could buy a new awning for $3800. This was 3 days before my trip, and I felt I had to agree. While waiting for the owner to verify if he could get the motor in time, I decided to call the manufacturer to see if they had technical assistance. I was told that my issue was a simple limit adjustment. That's when I noticed that they installed the motor 180 degrees in the wrong direction during the material install, hiding the limit screws. After 2 hours, I put the motor in the correct way and adjusted the limits. my awning then retracted to the original problem condition. The tech told me how to adjust for that and it was fixed in another 10 minutes. Now I have to find someone to replace my original cover. If I wasn't technical, this might have cost $2000 or more that others could have paid for a 20-minute fix. Do your research before hiring this company.
