We saw the demo of there electric one, the demonstrator couldn't keep it deployed in very mild winds.

We have had the manual one rip thru the locks and deploy in high winds three different times, we now have safety straps holding it tight.

I have an electric awning. But I sure wish I had the old manual one back.the electric seem to be pretty sensitive to any wind.we are always putting it in when the least bit of wind comes up.i don't think they would hold up like the manual awning did we put it out in April and it was out most of the season.with little problems.But I am sure others love the electric.

Carefree is the most popular brand. Check for local RV techs or dealers with good reputations to do it for you.
