Automatic Awnings

[RovinOn]

What automatic awning do you have on your motorhome? My 05 Southwind came through with a Dometic (junk)! This the second one in 6 years and it's failed again!
This time around I'm thinking Carefree Colorado, anyone using theirs and what do you think?
Are there any others out there?
I do have this posted in the general area, looking to see what other Fleetwood owners in particular are doing?
Regards,

Carefree of Colorado, only problem I have had is the poor install done by Camping World, I went back and fixed their screw up.

I think they all have problems. My experience is the opposite of yours...Dometic was fine, Carefree toppers all replaced due to the seems coming apart and our Carefree motor quit.

Ive had both and to me the hardware was better on the domestic. Was it the motor that went bad? Maybe just a bad string of luck or something with the install that makes it fail.
