Russ,
You will happy to hear that there is a warning before the awning self inflates. If you hear a very loud banging coming from just over the passenger seat, like someone is hitting the side of the coach with a hammer, that is the sound of the gears slipping in the gear box. That's when you can officially start worrying.
I don't think this is common. I only found one reference on the internet to the awning failing like this.
I wasn't trying to say the sky is falling. What I was trying to do was to prevent a fellow guru from having the same UhOH that I had on the side of the road with the awning fully extended. One tends to ponder, Now What?
