Until the electronic awning can be fully extended, without a stupid pole in the middle and handle heavy rain I will continue to make this recommendation. There are also differences in heavy rain: a lot vs heavy in a short time. It seems either there is a pole in the middle, poles at each corner, or it is not fully extended.
I also look at the maintenance issues here with the manual, bad wind sensors, doesn't retract properly, etc. (do a search) vs the manual. But for myself and others it doesn't matter. The manual is much more robust for rain and wind. That's just physics at work. Plus to chew someone out because they might believe the same is absurd.
Again, if I was bothered by the simple means to put out and retract a manual, or just wanted a sun screen I'd purchase the electric in a heartbeat. Again, we camp in rain quite a bit of the time, so I'll go with the proven product.
Enjoy,
Perry

You , Ronn , and I can have a spirited but cordial discussion of powered vs manual awnings
