I had ONE bad experience with weather and an awning. About 2am, in just above freezing temps, a sudden storm came up. The awning was taking a beating and I rushed outside in my tidy whities, barefoot and got soaked as I rolled the awning up. The neighboring campers got a good look since they came out to get their chairs out of the weather.

It appeared though that I had dodged any damage to the awning.

On the way home, the awning tore loose from the roof and that took some work to be able to continue homeward. It also required a new awning.

If I ever have to buy another awning, it will be one of those automatic models that retract during inclimate weather conditions.


It takes 43 muscles to frown, 12 muscles to smile but only 2 muscles to pull the trigger on a Colt 1911. Well I am old, lazy and tired of smiling.

We never leave our main awning extended over night.
