Thought I would put this out to the new people who are learning so they don't make the mistakes I have made in the past year.
1. Awning, don't assume the water will run off of it without tilting one end. Make sure before you leave the area for a few hours, even though the chance of rain is slight. Remember Murphy's Law!
2. If you use a Friction Sway Bar, remember to undo it before trying to back into a spot at the campground. I always undo mine now when I pull into the campground.
3. If you seal the area around your antenna on top, make sure you don't seal part of the rotating area. I forgot to check mine after I did it, got to campground; antenna would not rotate. Solution, had to call a former supervisor who lived in the area so I could borrow his ladder for a five minute fix.
4. Awning replaced by insurance company, no deductible. I was lowering it one day here at home to let it dry out from the rain we just had, the strap broke. I was lucky that I was coming down with it. Purchased another one at local RV Store, should have waited until I went to Camping World. I bought another one, half the price.
Just thought I would put this out to the new ones, just some things you don't think about.
