Awning on new TT.
Was looking at a TT we thought we might like. but when we came back out it not only had a TINY awning, it was electric. Which is pretty much a deal breaker for me. Salesman said. but it is so much stronger than a manual awning. I said HUH??????.
I told him I could carport my awning, and it would take a really strong wind, while tied down. he asked. You don't roll it up when it rains??? I ask why would I do that. Isn't that what it is for, to sit under when it rains?? He says, Because it will pool water. I told him, NOT if you tilt it. He then said. You can't tilt it enough to let the rain runoff. at that point, I knew he didn't know much about camping. I explained that IF I had to take it down every time it rained, or at night, or every time I left the TT, I wouldn't have one. I explained, that unless there is a really, really, bad storm. The awning goes out at setup, and only comes down when we break camp.
He asked you never lost an awning? No I have not. Then he asked like I was new at this. how long have you been camping? I told him 30+ years. and a tiny wimpy electric awning is a deal breaker.
