Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if this pull rod will fit my awning?
This 61" pull rod fits most manual A&E and Dometic awnings. If your current pull rod hooks into the awning arm and you operate your awning manually (not with a motor), this is likely the correct replacement. Measure your existing rod if available—it should be approximately 61 inches long.
Can I use this with a power awning?
No, this pull rod is designed specifically for manual awning operation. Power awnings use a motor and switch system and do not require a pull rod for normal operation. However, some power awnings have a manual override feature that may use a pull rod.
What if my pull rod is bent but still works—should I replace it?
Yes, a bent pull rod should be replaced. A bent rod can make awning operation difficult, may not engage properly with the awning mechanism, and could fail completely at an inconvenient time. Replacing it now prevents potential awning damage or deployment issues on the road.
Is this rod adjustable or telescoping?
No, this is a fixed-length 61" pull rod. It does not telescope or adjust. The single-piece design provides maximum strength and reliability for manual awning operation.
