Awning question

If I had an electric awning, I would likely bring it in more often, depending on the weather conditions, but with our manual awning, I tend to watch what the neighbors do, particularly the long termers that know the area. We've been in parks where the tree cover is heavy and the more permanent RV'ers awnings appear to have been left out for at least a couple of years in some cases. At our last park in Bushnell, FL, in two weeks there, the only time we ran the awning in was when a severe thunderstorm was predicted, and were glad we did. The rest of time it was fine, despite a couple of breezy days and some light rain. I do keep one end lower to help shed the rain and minimize wind lift.
