Just to follow up to this, there is a recall on these smart arm controllers by Lippert due to corrosion from water intrusion. The official recall states the awning can start to unroll itself while towing....which could be a pretty big deal if that happened! I called my dealer and they are aware of the recall but do not have the parts yet to replace it but are expecting them soon. I have appointment scheduled to replace these. ( I have it on both awnings)
