Thanks! I've not heard too much difference between the Carefree and Dometic products. Certainly, the Colorado Carefree service is not good and they don't seem to help their dealers either as they have complained to me how difficult CC is to deal with.
However, based on some previous posts we decided to go with the Dometic as it will be an entirely new and not an upgrade to our current unit.
We're really dry here, so the issue of our awning is not very big. I do open it up when I wash the unit and then let it dry before closing it.
Thanks again!
