Just know what the weather will be like before going to bed. If the weather has rain or heavy clouds, I put it in and cover everything up. If it's to be clear, then I leave it.
Maybe a month ago at the CG, hot, beautiful out with 0% chance of rain. Storm rolled through with high winds and ripped off the awnings from my 2 neighbors who said when they got back that 'there was supposed to be no rain'
I have seen too many times where it was nice out then turned ugly fast. It doesnt have to last long to tear one up. When we are gone or at night I also bring it in, it literally takes 10 seconds to do and then I dont need to run out in my underwear at night which is not a pretty sight but has happened LOL.
The bad part is that in the old manual style awnings if my neighbors were gone and a storm started up, I have brought in their awnings but with the new electric ones there isnt much I can do to help them.
