Anyway I need the arm lock tool so I can fully extend them so they also cover the side windows without using a ladder.ДЄnyone know where I can purchase this tool or should I not full extend these (design flaws etc.)? I do not have the gear type lock on the roller, just the locks on the tubes and pull straps with pull strap eyelets on the slide to hold the awnings out.ДЇrom the manual it looks like a standard awning 'cane' is all I should need but the pole locks have a square protruding out that looks like some sort of tool with a female hole would lock over it to either push up to release or pull down to lock.ДЄnyone have these on their coach that could provide me with some operating instructions based off of experience? I was concerned if I use the standard awning cane it will slip off and scratch the coach.I just wanted to let you know I received my awning lock. My slide toppers are Carefree, although I am not sure of the model I think they are Omega II's (based off of the photos on the Carefree website). Sorry to hijack the topic, but its awning related.
