As we are drinking our beer, the temperature drops 10-15 degrees and the winds get gusty.
Meanwhile back at Puma, the same gusts of wind were occurring. Puma has a 16 foot manual awning and we had it crank out. Puma caught a gust and one of the supports came loose. Broken or not, we've learned our lessons.
List of RV Awning Lessons :
- Put the awning in if you are leaving and will be gone more than 60 minutes. Ok - we'll probably never do this perfectly, but it is still probably really good advice.
- If you are not going to put the awning in, then a really good support kit is a worthwhile investment.
- You can get a support leg for each corner.
- Then you get a tie-down to pull it down tight onto the leg.
- There are also anti-flap kits which allow you to tie the awning edge to the support struts.
- The most critical lesson : get an electric and just crank it in when you are gone.
Cheers,
M
