Just wondering can you use the new electrical awning while boondocking? Seems like 12v wouldn't be enough. Has any one heard or tried it?

It works off the battery(batteries) and is 12v, you do not need to be hooked up to electric.

It doesn't matter that the awning is powered by 12 VDC if the motor is geared properly . They make 12 VDC winches that can pull a 3 ton truck . I suppose if you ran the awning in and out 20 times a day you could drain your battery if you really tried.

I haven't noticed any detrimental effect to our batteries while boondocking. Usually a couple of times in and out a day are sufficient to satisfy my appreciation for technology and then I stop, maybe
