With the winds the other day came biggest rain here I have seen. All the electrics came in and the manuals stayed out. The electric folks had rain puddles out their entry's. All us manual folks were dry. Just because electrics are handy doesn't make them any better. To each their own.

When we had ours built, we opted for a manual awning instead of the electric one. As fulltimers, we rarely put out the awning anyway. To us, electric awnings seem more trouble than they are worth and cost a ton of money.

Has anyone found a FW model they like, that comes standard with an electric awning, and asked the manufacturer if it can be deleted in favor of a manual awning?

You have "rails" that have been attached to the side of your 5er in a different configuration than that of a manual awning with the arms/legs.....If it were done "after the fact", it might be hard to remove the electric awning gliding rails and install manual awning glide rails without leaving holes in places that will need to be repaired to where it doesn't affect the appearance of your new 5er....I've seen a 5er at a campground where we stayed once and they had replaced their electric awning with an manual and the job hadn't been done very well, you could see where holes had been filled in and even the owners regretted having had it done.
Don't know if I would want the dealer to do that job or not...

Just curious, why would you want to delete it?
