The problem Mitch, is that with the kind of electric awning we have it doesn't take much wind to start shaking it around. With a manual awning you can leave it out safely in winds that would have me bringing mine in. We don't get to use it much as I seem to be bringing it in to often. With the kind of setup I'm looking for I could sustain as much wind as a manual with the legs down. I love the idea of deploying the awning with the push of a button but given the choice to do it over again I'd opt for a manual awning.
Thanks
