New Cyclone at RV Show
So we decided to go out to one of the Indian Casinos east of San Diego advertising a "huge" RV show (not) to look at Toy Haulers. Just trying to see as many layouts as we can trying to decide on making the switch from our Cabover Truck Camper to a Toy Hauler. I'm inside a brand new Cyclone (while DW was outside) when I hear this god-aweful ruckess, crash-bang I'm thinking the whole trailer is collapsing with me in it. I go running out of the thing only to find out that the rear patio awning (over the porch) blew OFF the trailer and landed on top of the trailer (thank God - as no one was in its path and hurt). Now there was a very slight breeze blowing (and I mean slight) and it maybe gusted to 5 mph if that. We notified one of the show workers there and he just kinda blew it off (pun intended) and said "yeah it happens all the time, you can't have those awnings out with any kind of wind". Well, even under 10 mph breeze? A second salesperson said the same thing - "oh yeah those awnings are like that". REALLY???
Should we believe them? If so, what's the use of having a rear awning? Anyone else have this kind of experience? Was this a fluke? Salespersons seemed to think this was an everyday occurance. In fact, one of them said "that's what insurance is for".
I'd be pretty upset if I just paid $70,000.00 (discount price marked for the show) for a 5th Toy Hauler and lost the electric awning on the first outing. What's the deal??
