Power awning

Does anyone know if the 2018 stealths with the power awning have the wind sensor built in or is it something I should ask my dealer for. We do a lot of camping in the desert and the winds can kick up while we're gone on a ride and I don't want to comeback to a new roof cover

Power awning

I asked that question myself and was told that those awnings pretty much come on the 100 grand fifth wheels.

Unless you're going to tied down AND *support* your awning arms, they should be stowed when you aren't there.

I would think, even with a system that you are talking about, I would roll it in if I wasn't with the camper. Get one of those dust devils come around, and by the time the system starts to do its thing, the dust devil has been there, done the damage, and gone.

We mostly camp & ride in the dez, too, and always roll ours up before we leave camp on a ride.
