electric awning

[N0INF]

2008 27RLSE wildcat. We love our elect awning. Always haveing people ask us about it. Don't leave home without it. Happy Camping.

We have had 7 nights in our 831KRSS and I think that it rained every night. This weekend it started pouring while we were having supper and by the time I got up from the table the awning had a pool about a foot deep sitting on it. Thankfully nothing broke but it did not automatically dump either. Like the rest of you I am looking for a decent fix for this problem. For now what I am doing is propping the center of the awning up with an adjustable tent pole with a tennis ball on the end. This raises the center up so that the water runs both ways. The tennis ball on the end spreads the pressure so it does not puncture the awning. It is not the best fix but it keeps the water off and allows us to go to sleep with the awning out and not worry about it. I for one think that what I bought was an umberlla not just a sun shade.

They don't like the water pooling affect when it rains, since you can't dip one corner.

Several threads on this can be read at Outbackers.com

Also, they have been told by their dealers that the awning is a "sun shade" not an umbrella.
