isnt the timing just great...
My Fiamma roll-out awning won't roll-up. A lug that has fallen out looks like it is missing a pin from it...
does anyone know of a back-up method to roll it up?...

RB - No doubt you have ensured the clip is in the 'unlock' position and you have given it a fair sort of downward tug to release it.... other than that, the only suggestion I have is to check whether the arms are quite perpendicular. We experienced a problem after a bit of a gust, which seemed to have 'offset' the arms a tad. Had to roll it out to the extremity then give the assembly a bit of a 'heave-ho' sideways and gently roll it back keeping it strictly in line so the awning was not wrapping off toward one side - i.e.' the laps were working across the frame until I managed to hold it steady and line the wraps up one over the other.
Hope you sort it out - seasons greetings - Phil

Maybe
mine isn't Fiamma - just googled their site then checked the van - found an 'A&E' sticker on the leg.
Yours may
well be self locking, eliminating that aspect - hope you solve it, cheers, Phil
