New power awnings on Rockwoods
DW and I are looking to purchase a 2014 Rockwood 2604WS. It comes with the power(electric)awning. While it looks "neat", I'm not sure about it's reliability or failure rate. Of course,salesman claims ...

Anyone have a good/bad experience to share, especially with a recent Rockwood model?
Only negative we experienced was on a cold (near freezing) morning after a rain. The awning started to roll up then stopped. I grabbed the tube and twisted while my wife hit the switch. It twitched twice then rolled on up. I'm guessing the cold and wet were the culprits.
We have added rolling the awning up the night before departure to our cold-weather SOP list.
I really like the convenience. It will encourage you to roll that bad boy up when setting out to sight see for the day in thunderstorm season. The auto-dump feature is also comforting.
Get the awning.
