I found with my old trailer that had the manual awning that if it wasn't centered on the awning tube it would roll up crooked and be loose on one side.

I found with my old trailer that had the manual awning that if it wasn't centered on the awning tube it would roll up crooked and be loose on one side.
If this is a manual awning (A&E) then it has a spring inside the roller tube on both sides. The right side (front) has a locking mech. inside which holds it open as you roll it out. If the awning rolls straight then the spring on the left has less tension. If you don't know how to add tension, have it done by experienced personel.
Ours acts up sometimes, too. Maybe something isn't loosened all the way.
X2 - springs in awning tubes can take off a hand. Very dangerous if you aren't sure what your doing.
I can believe it. A garage door spring can kill you. I saw a guy many years ago working on a garage door spring. It knock him off his ladder and threw his pry tool thru the drywall.
