My Coach has 2 electric awnings creating full length coverage on the passenger side only. All windows have electric awnings.
In my files from a previous owner, there is a receipt for $8,600 for damages to coach from a wind storm. The anemometer had failed to tell the awning to retract during a wind event. The design and corresponding attachment does not look like it would take much to recreate the damages if a strong wind got under it and the anemometer that monitor on my roof top, didn't work.
I have a darn tree that I go under near my house that I cannot avoid, that slow drags my roof. I'm always afraid that it will, or has damaged my anemometer.
My last coach, a 97', had manual awnings and had support arms coming down the side. It withstood strong winds on several occasions.
I would sleep better with the manual version, but they don't look or fit the design of the Newell.
My 2 cents
