November of 2015 I10 40 to 60 mph wind gust broke the front awning spring and let the front of awning to come away from the side of motorhome about 2 to 3 feet get slowed and off to the side of the road survey situation and then form a plan to secure it after getting it rolled back in to motorhome and then wired it solid with coat hangers. LOL aways carry wire of some kind. The moral of this story while climbing up and down on roof and working in very adverse conditions the number of motorhomes campers tt and 5ers that went bye not even slowing down was a very big surprise to me. I always try to help others when needed. I was very surprised that not even one would slow down or stop to see if help was needed.
