 Topic: Thule 5200 AwningPosted: 23 Aug 2020 at 10:06am |
|
Hi, I have a 179 that came with a Thule Crown 5200 awning. I’m trying to figure out how to fix/ replace the locking cam that holds the awning extension leg in extended position? The Thule and Lippert (US distributor?) websites not helpful? Thanks

What is wrong with the locking cam? Can you post a picture?

Go to 2:01 to see the plastic locking lever. That’s what’s busted.

I'm familiar with the lever. What I am asking is what is broken about it? Is is just difficult to move to the locked position or is the lever actually broken off? That is what I am trying to clarify. Just saying that it is "busted" isn't very helpful. Have you tried contacting Lippert via the contact form on the web site?

Busted as in the lever is gone, fell apart, fractured, in pieces. Yes I have put in an email form with Lippert.

Okay. Unfortunately, that or trying to contact Thule (the maker) is about all you can do. I don't know if the lever is replaceable or if a whole new leg is required. I could not find a parts breakdown.
