What is this?
2 Attachment(s)
I had a drip the other day in the pouring down rain and I went up to day and see what was wrong with the vent....that's where the drip was and found this broke off. It has a phone wire running to it and its all corrosioned up. So all I can guess at is a Temperature senor. Or maybe something to do with the awing? Any way it's history.
Thanks for the help! Sam |
Following. I think I've got something that looks just like that on my roof. I never looked close to see what it is.
|
I see the shadow of a modular RJ-11 type connection (on the cable end).
I wonder if it goes to your awning anemometer (for auto retraction/roll-up of the awning when it gets windy)? clearly something has come off the roof. I forget who makes our awning but the sensor (which is worthless) is encased in a plastic housing/chimney. |
I agree with Don.
It bears a striking resemblance to this gizmo:Dometic WeatherPro Control Kit with Switch and Remote - Awning Parts & Accessories - Hardware |
YUP, Petrel is correct.
Our awning is an AE WeatherPro & according to the manual the windspeed sensor uses an RJ-11 connection. User Manuel Link (with pictures) - HEREhttps://www.rvtechlibrary.com/exterio...308058.001.pdf |
Thanks for the help, now to go find one to cover the hole.

Found one on ebay for 39.95 and free shipping!
Thanks again sam |
nice find Sam! got a link to it ?
I couldn't find anywhere on the web that the speed sensor was sold separately, but i did order a new remote ;) |
Here is the item number and maybe Second wind sails has another on the shelf.
eBay item number: 191750885890 Now what is the best way to get the self leveling chalk off so I can put new down??? Sam |
all I've ever used is a putty knife, some of its tougher than others (if its been there a long time / cured) you might need to use a metal putty knife....but then my roof is aluminum sheet.
|
heres some hints - apparently a warm day or warm caulk helps.
they say NO solvents (on rubber roof). https://www.heartlandowners.org/arch...p/t-29495.html |
Wind sensor update

I had to blow leaves first and then it started to drizzle...... but I got on the roof and put some duck tape over the hole and cut the bad end off the cable. I took the picture to show the problem and why it was not working. But you know being a 05 model and with the great caulking done and all the trouble you have to go thru to trace out things, I am kinda glad it broke off.
Lots of corrosion on this cheap ass plug. I guess I will put some Dielectirc Grease when I install the new one or might figure out a better way. Sam |
maybe ill pull mine apart now too....i tell you though when is was working its worthless....rolls up when a mouse farts.
