What kind of radio do I have in my car-------2008 Chevy with XM radio. So, what brand/model radio do I have? Kind of hard to get help with lack of info. I requested Brand and Model of Awning also. There is NO standard awning on RV's. You can have a Girard/Dometic/Carefree from your year model. Doug

I’m guessing your house batteries are bad. Low voltage, especially in the 12V system does strange things! Ask anyone with a newer car what happens when batteries get weak?

You need to state what year of RV. Also, brand and model of Awning. In the last 10 years MOST Awnings do not have Wind Sensors. They have MOTION Sensors instead. If you have a Wind Speed adjustment, then you do have a Wind Sensor. Also, Is your Awning 120 volt or 12 volts? When your Genset Stops, it causes a momentary interruption of both the 12 volt system and the 120 system. That may cause the awning system to trip and default to retract. Doug

does the awning retract when you shut down the generator if you manually shut down the generator without using the auto start?

Not really, and the wind sensor is switched off.

Does the unit shake a good bit when the generator shuts down? If it does and you have an awning the automatically goes in when it senses wind, it may be interpreting the shaking as wind.
