I'm having the same problem in our new (to us) 16' Scamp. Great idea to add a right angle. It's the turn from under the sink, through the cabinet, to under the bed/dining area.
Thanks!

Catalina 2500 Awning Video

Hey all,
In my research I came across this video on how to operate the older Dometic Catalina 2500 awning.

2019 Subaru Outback. It pulled my 13' Trails West Campster just fine (yes, slower uphill).
