How many people put power awning in every night?

[el_jefe1]

With my old manual awning, I used to put stakes in the ground and use ratchet straps to tie it down. Never had an issue or thought about bringing it in in high winds. Now with the power awning I'm afraid of every little gust of wind and I've been bringing it in every night. DW thinks I'm being paranoid. I'm wondering how many others bring it in every night? Or do you leave it out if the weather forecast is decent?

Why gamble that no strong gust will ever come along and wreck it, when a push of the button insures a safe awning? That is how I think of it. Not paranoia, just common sense. One does not need the awning out all night, so putting it away seems natural.

Me too. Almost never bring it in. But. I do also have the maual sensor mentioned elsewhere...

I always bring the awning in at night. There is no need to leave if out and unexpected storms pop up during the Summer so I feel better bringing it in at night.

Yes, in every night...and every time I leave the CS.

Oh! Manual sensor! I get it!

That's what ours does, flutters and bangs and we jump up to put it in.

We bring it in every night. We don't have a wind sensor and it's super easy to bring it in. Great peace of mind and good night's sleep.

I've never heard of such a thing. That sounds kind of awesome, but then of course I'd wworty about the system failing and wouldn't want to rely on it.

I have a manual awning, but I never leave it out when I am not around and awake to take care of it. It comes in when asleep or away from the RV.
