C. Door Clearance

 Allow for sufcient clearance be-
tween awning fabric and entry door to accommo­date awning pitch (slope).

Awning is factory preset for a 5° fabric slope, but
it may be adjusted for a steeper slope (up to 15°).
See (FIG. 2).

For a 22″ entry door, the approximate mini­mum clearance is 2 1/2″ for 5° slope, and 6
1/2″ for 15° slope.
Make sure mounting surface on RV is at

and vertical. Any tilt in mounting surface will
tilt awning, and affect awning pitch (slope).
