Not just wind damage, but also water pooling on the awning. I had my awning correctly adjusted, ie. one side higher than other, thought I was OK, partway through storm I went to close my doors (water being blown in), and noticed pooling on my awning. I was quick to bring one side down to dump the pooling, but damage was done. It bent my roller. It still rolls up and down, but in a weird step by step pattern. Would love to know any tricks to unbending the roller ball! I'm going to keep using it from sun blocking, but not for keeping out of the rain. I'll use my trailer for that from now on! Always seems to be something to learn each day RV'ing! Still enjoy each day out!
