All ActivityMost RecentMost LikesSolutionsAwning FailureDriving down the road at 65 mpg my awning failed open and literally tore off the side of the RV. Lucky no one was hurt and managed to get all the debris off the road before being run over. My RV is only 12 months old (Itasca Sunstar), the awning is a dometic electric. Two days before this happened the awning would not deploy (just a "click" when the switch was pushed), on our way to Albuquerque so figured to have it looked at there. Unfortunately never made it. Still have gotten no response to emails and messages to the dealer and manufacturer. Anyone else have a similar issue? This seems a major safety concern which I will not be willing to ignore. And of course there is the $1400 replacement cost. Feedback will be greatly appreciated! Greg
