- hone eagle,
yes I kept on top of the caulking, stripped the old, and put new in every 3rd year yet we still have the issue. In more than one spot. I had a chance to talk with one of the technicians at the dealership a little more in depth. He said that with the weight of the add a room on it we will be fine as that acts as a big anchor itself. He said of course if a plow wind or something retarted like that rolls through the campsite then well have issues but of course I believe well have more than the awning to worry about. Like I say we just wont have the option to roll the awning in/out during our long stays at the lake. IMO if you have to roll the awning up every night or when you leave the campsite whats the point in even having one?
Thanks it least that makes me feel better ,I guess I did all i could .
We never stay in one spot more then a week - 10 days and looking forward to the convienance of push button operation.As far as rolling up nightly ,never in the far north ,often on the mid-western plains ,depends on prevailing and local wind conditions.
