Can we switch to an electric Awning
We have a 2002 Class C Tioga 30'er with a manual awning. I hate it. I hate putting it up and I hate taking it down. Is it possible to change it out to an electric one?

Nothing is perfect. I have an electric awning and wish it was a manual. Two reasons, one if the motor ceases working it will not be easy to retract the awning if out. Secondly, at this time I know of no operation to lower one side of the awning to reduce water accumulation on the awning when extended during a rain.

Have to agree. Though it's nice to have, no posts or support arms at head height and easy to deploy and store it has two drawbacks; You can't drop one side, and you can't drop it way down to wash the top. If/when our electric awning dies we will give serious thought to installing a manual one.
