We have a 76 GMC with (I think) a ZD Awning -

Moby is stored inside 50 weeks out of the year (but we just received it last year)

There is a difficulty retracting the awning - I surmise - due to corrosion -

Is there a good way to clean up that mechanism & lub/protect it ?

Trey,
Any Silicone Spray Polymer Lube or Dry Silicone type spray lube will
work just fine. The first time you should remove any corrosion with a
scotchbrite pad fine and lube and wipe off. Normally if you keep a
regular schedule of twice a year then you should not have any problems.
