The tech at the place we purchased could not stress more the fact the awning is a "Sun Shade" and should not be expected to withstand any wind and or rain.
This is indeed how some of the electric awning manufacturers describe their products. The one we have is similar even though it is a very expensive brand. We only extend ours when we are there and we take it in whenever we leave. I guess you can say the only good thing is that it is electric so extending and retracting is not a problem, but I would rather have a manual one.
