Thanks for quick reply. OK - will look into getting the Awning. On our previous pop-up trailer we hardly ever used awnings (mostly because it was a pain to zip back in) so I am wondering if it would be good investment in this case. How easy are they to open/close? (I understand it is manual but still).
To answer your questions - Newark, CA location and yes there is a barely noticeable shadow. And good point - I missed to list that as one more thing you miss getting pre-refurbished (also, I was told that 1 month and 3 month warranty only comes with refurbished models - so that is another benefit of refurbished model I missed to list).
Another quick question: Get roadside assistance from Progressive (about $25 a year) or Good Sam (about $99/year after first year special of $49 now)?
I found that the awning was good for me and I use it often,it is not all that hard to use and deploy and retract,most times I do it myself.
There are many YouTube videos on it
This One is just one example. It is like the one I have and most likely what will be offered.
That warranty that they give at purchase of a refurbished one is not very long,it use to be 1 Year or 12000 miles, I think that is why the push very hard to get the extended one,and if it saved you money and you are handy it may be the better deal for the way you went.
As for the roadside assistance, that is up to you,a lot of people do go with Good Sam with varying results.They do have a
Sub Topic here on the Forum where you can get pretty quick answers.
Me I just added it to my AAA roadside for an extra $36 per year. I have had AAA for a looong time and all the times that I have used it the service was exceptional.
If there any mods you want to do just ask,there are many that others have done and I have archived,like the window in the door or suspension up grades,if not here just PM me.
Good luck with this all and have a great camping season,nice thing about here in CA it is year round!
