I suggest the manual awing for rain and wind loads, it is nice to angle the awning into the wind and control where the rain drains. We hang damp towels to dry on the manual awning support arms.

They do take time to use.

I am lucky in that there are three free dump stations within 2 miles of my house and only about 3,500 people so I am rarely rushed. Once someone pulled in behind me as...

The sealant doesn’t have to stick to be effective, it acts like a gasket. The sealant will ooze out as the fitting or patch is installed and excess can removed with a wet finger or glove. Make sure...
