Interesting comment about the torsion bars. On my 2001 TM, the torsion bars used were designed for a TM with no awning, so the reason my torsion bars weren't lifting well enough was because I need a slightly thicker torsion bar (13/16 instead of 3/4", I believe). All other torsion bars are still working well with room to adjust.

You may wish to check to see what diameter torsion bar you have. If you have AC, you need the thicker torsion bars for sure. I'm not sure if they have thicker ones still, but I believe the awning without AC uses 13/16 on the door side, awning with AC uses 13/16 both sides. You can e-mail TM to verify the sizes for your particular TM.
