The one complaint I had about my awning was windy weather, especially if I tried leaving it open at night. It made too much noise when I went to bed. There were several times I had to go outside in the middle of the night and stow the awning. And, I was using several deflappers and two tie-downs, one at each end. I finally had to get into the habit of rolling it up in the evening. Other than that, I did enjoy my awning and the shade it provided.
OOPs! Just noticed this is a very old thread. :S
