Fancier isn't always better
I know I'm going to get a lot of flak for writing this post, but I'm going to go ahead and say it anyway because it's true. Fancier and more sophisticated isn't always better than simple and cheap. ...

On a 20 foot awning you could have 160 square feet of sail. On more than one night I was driven from my warm bed to retract the awning in the wind and or rain. I get what you are saying. Is there an over ride you can use so the call to retract is yours and not the awnings?
When I see it go in, I'm totally in agreement with the awning's decision. It's just a poor attachment design.
The Carefree power awning's design is much better. Granted, it doesn't look as good as the Girard but that scissor strut seems like a much better support for an awning than a single attachment at the end.
