I have an A&E Oasis Elite power door awning (2004 vintage) that I'm going to have to repair and looking for advice. Haven't been able to find a similar problem on any forum.
When opening, only one arm extends. The other just sits there, though I can push it manually to extend the awning.
However, when closing, both arms work fine and the awning closes properly.
I'm thinking some sort of gear problem or similiar.
From what I've read, I'll have to extend the awning, remove 2 screws at the top, and perhaps drill out several rivets to remove the awning from the RV.
before removing open the awning and lube the hinge joints on the arms with some penetrating oil. The motor only turns the tube the fabric is on. There are spring loaded cables in the arms that make the arms extend as the fabric is unrolled, may have a broken cable or spring.
I have found that the A&E Elite door awnings are very touchy and need expert adjustments just to make them function. I had nothing but trouble with mine until it was properly adjusted. Good luck.
