Weather Pro

[mercerc44]

We have the Weather Pro with the wind sensor. When picked up the MH in Feb. I don't remember the black control box beeping. Well, now when I turn on the sensor, it beeps. How come????

The beeping is because the wind sensor has been exposed to below 30 degrees F when the sensor switch is on. Or it could be because the control board has detected a problem either in the wind sensor or the wind sensor wiring.

I have had quite a few problems (on my 3rd board) with the WeatherPro. But it was not WeatherPro's fault, it was Newmar's fault. The wind sensor sits in a plastic housing on the roof. Newmar drilled a 3/4" hole in the roof so a telephone like cable can be droped to the control box. Newmar never sealed the hole! Rain water would get into the sensor housing and run right down the wire and short out the board/sensor, etc.

When we would get one of our famous South Florida rains, the next time I used the awning, it was broke.

The bottom line is to check to make sure the hole for the wire is sealed with the appropriate material.

A check to see if the board is still good is to deploy the awning with the wind sensor on. If it deploys, the board may still be good. If it does not deploy, turn the wind sensor off. Deploy the awning. If the awning will deploy only with the wind sensor off, there is a good chance the control board is bad.

Thanks Gary, will do some checking. We did get a little rain and wind here in Port St. Lucie. the last few days. Finally feels like Fl. today.

My sensor has also been beeping. I disabled the sensor and the beeping stopped. Sounds like it has more to do with outside temp.

Don't mean to hijack the thread but could you give me some advice on where to stay in Port ST Lucie? We'll be there in the beginning of Feb. to visit family. Looking for someplace to spend a week. Now lets get back on thread.

I live there so I might be of some help. Depends on what you want, there isn't much in the immediate area.

The outdoor resorts is very nice but I'm not sure its worth the money. The golf course really isn't anything to write home about the last time we saw it some of the greens were looking pretty crappy.

Never stayed at the PSL rv park but we did drive by it. Looked like a 5-7/10. Had a pool and such, concrete pads, not much grass and its in the middle of PSL.

The Treasure coast rv park in FT pierce gets good reviews, never been there though so YMMV but might be worth checking out its just one exit North of Midway rd.

Jonathan Dikson state park has some RV hookups but thats in Martin County to the south. Not sure if they are full hookups or not.

Some parks like Sebastian Inlet and Long Point Park up in Sebastian are very nice and have sites either on or near the ocean / inter coastal, but about 30 minutes north. Cheap state parks, they don't have sewer but they have a dump station and electric / water is included. Prices are cheap but they fill up fast. You book the state parks on reserve America's system.

Other than that there really isn't any other parks in this area.

Good luck and enjoy your stay.

Jerry,
The beeping will always stop when the sensor is disabled. Consider performing the test mentioned in my earlier post. This will tell if it was the temp or the board or sensor is bad.

I did the test with the sensor on and the awning works fine. Still beeps. Will have to dig deeper. We are staying at the PSLucie RV Resort for the month of Jan. It's OK, quiet, close to everthing, people are nice.

mercerc44,
Good luck with your digging. When the control unit beeps, it may mean the wind sensor is not opperating. Until the problem is corrected, consider not leaving the awning deployed and unattended.
