Guest Post: Motorhome Awning Repair and Motorhome Water Heater Thermostat

AWNING REPAIRS
My driver side awning has become shredded, is there a way to replace just the awning or will I need to replace the awning components too? Would I take this to a canvas shop to fix  or can a service center handle the project? 

“I'd have to see it to be certain, but in most cases you can replace the awning without all the other components needing replaced. With brand, length, fabric type, color info, a repair center can order in a new canopy and install for you. Awning manufacturers will supply instructions on the correct torsion spring tension/installation details making the repair go fairly quickly.”  

WATER HEATER THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENT
My motorhome’s water heater thermostat has the hot water set too hot. I don’t see where to adjust the temperature setting as I was able to do with my old motorhome?

“Most newer model coaches have Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) water heaters with a preset thermal contact type electric thermostat... Atwood and Suburban thermostats can be replaced with a different thermostat preset to a cooler temperature. A service center can order in the replacement thermostat and install it for you.”
