And Glenn loves his puck light too you might get that power channel for some disco lights. Us 2017 owners don't get that option

We have one of the first 2017 21s that crossed the border with the Dometic awning. It works great. We love all the new changes. No worries.

How is the awning holding up with the winds in South Carolina? I saw that another tropical storm is headed that way.

Confirmed Escape is not offering the Dometic factory LED option and will be sticking to Marry's option above.

Just got back from the Carolinas. We were in both North and South. We don't usually leave our awning extended when winds are predicted. That's the way we have always camped using an awning. Although, we did have the electric awning extended and a few gusts came up. We didn't have any issues. We love the awning. It's fun and it looks good without the arms in the way.
