Electric awning - Don't like the durned thing! Rant!

Got an electric awning, thought this was a nice thing....... Used it a couple times and very quickly realized what a total pain in the backside it is. It has 2 positions - in, or out. Period. ...

My awning is a Dometic 9100 - came with my TT.

It extends/retracts to any degree required, and has the "auto-dump" crylinder that lowers the awning towards the front of the trailer and dumps. It also has locking nuts to keep either side lowered.


Or both sides ... just make sure the entry door doesn't push too with too much force against the awning fabric. I set my own Dometic 9100 like this when it's raining heavily so we can still use the under awning area. :D
