Power Awning
We have had several different kinds of awnings on various motorhomes including Girard which we liked. We now have manual and are going to replace it with electric. I saw the 9100 listed (A&E, Dometic)...

Did you buy or make your support poles? Does the side edges do much flapping in the wind without deflappers?
I bought them. There is a small fab shop (read: 1 man and his dog) that makes and ships them. If you're on Facebook, here is his page (it's not me- I don't get anything from sharing this!):

It doesn't flap much, but it can happen. I know a few people who have taken manual awning deflappers and modified it for use with a power awning. I haven't felt the need and have had my awning out in up to 30-35 mph winds (though, truthfully- once it hits 25mph, I'm looking for a lull to bring it in).
They're a game changer with using my awning. As I said, a majority of the time- I setup my awning when we arrive and leave it deployed until we depart.
