Your awning appears to be the A&E Dometic Weather Pro. If it is this is how it works.
Left Arm
Your A & E awning is designed to shed water if left out in
light rain. If water builds up on the awning, the left arm will
automatically decrease the awning height approximately 9
inches. When there is no longer the need to shed water it
will return to the normal height.
Have you tried it in the rain yet?
Electric awnings are great and anyone that thinks a manual is better is still in the stone age and seem to really hate changes.
OR we just like things that we can use. An awning that has to be retracted in the rain, ANY rain. Is useless.
Last week at the beach it was raining so hard visibility was nil, and it sounded like thunder on the TT roof. But the manual awning was out, and doing just fine. Doing it's job. Water running off of it like Niagara Falls.
I did however, take it in during the tornado warning. Wind got up some. But you know. Those DeFlappers work wonders
