Awning for slide out?

Had a TT without them and now our Class C with them. Personally, I don't think are worth paying extra for them. Stuff can get underneath the topper and the top of the slide. Most people do not check them if they have a topper and you could cause issues. If you don't have them, you are more apt to check before retracting the slide. They do flap in the wind and at night, they will keep you awake if its windy. Especially when a gust comes and pops it good. You will probably want to bring your slide in during a heavy wind so they won't tear. People at the beach often put a beach ball underneath them to keep the flapping down. And just because it's an added layer to the RV, there's the chance of it messing up on you while camping. Murphy will be there waiting for you when you go to leave your campsite on the last day and might be cutting close on time....lol
