Has only happened once to me. While driving in 60 mph winds on Whidbey Island my manual awning apparently began to unravel and I didn't know it until I was pulled over by a Sheriff Deputy. No ticket, just a very helpful guy who didn't want it to get worse. I was able to re-roll by the side of busy highway and proceed to the campground in very windy conditions. Shortly thereafter I had it removed and a new power awning installed at Camping World.
Am still thankful the deputy who alerted me...he explained that he was an RV'er also and he didn't want to see my awning destroyed. I wrote a complimentary letter to the Island County Sheriff to commend that deputy.
