I was afraid of our new electric awning. Didn't want it at first, and didn't like it the first season.
We've now learned how to live with one better, and it ain't all bad. It is so easy and fast to go in and out, that I think the pros are outweighing the cons. On any given weekend trip, it may go in and out many times, but that's not hard...the kids do it for me.
Better? I don't think so. Worse? maybe by a smidgen. Deal breaker? not for me.
This is my story as well.
I thought I was going to hate my electric awning and I did at first.
But after using it a few times I realized it wasn't that bad.
I was also an awning strapper. I would stake down my manual awning and prepare for battle.
With the electric you need a different mindset. Electric is about convenience. I use my electric in rain no issues. Wind is a bigger factor. If it is really windy just push the button and roll it in. It is easy enough to set up. You can roll it in and out as needed. You can roll it in at night and out in the morning. Sit under it a few hours and roll it in again. Because it's so convenient you just roll it in and out, no need to stake it down and go into battle mode.
I have learned to loive with my electric awning and it'sreally not that bad.
