To Awn or Not To Awn
My awning has seen better days. It's time to replace it ($$$) or just remove it and live without. Have any of you gone without an awning without regrets?

Here is a twist.
We have the typical power out, power in awning; it works fine, we use it a lot and it is push button convenient. However, I do not like the fact that it goes straight out and straight in. As the sun drops there is no way to lower the leading edge of the awning.
My niece had the same issue, so she ordered her new 5th wheel has a manual awning that you can set at almost any angle. Certainly not as convenient but a bit more practical.
The DW and I are thinking about adding one of the sunshade to ours.
We also have a power awning but ours can be lowered a bit by pulling down on one of the brackets on each side. I will lower one side a bit to drain off rain if needed. I am with you, though, I would trade it for a manual awning if I could. It doesn't lower as much as I'd like it to at times. If this one ever breaks hard, I'll probably be replacing with a manual awning.
