Thought you were tearin them wreched things off before they billow up, and blow off ??
Unfortunatly, 10' in the air is the price we pay for buying 13' wide RV's .

awing problems

I have a 2007 35 flr and from day one had problems with the wind sensor, talked to PI and they sent me another roof mounted sensor, same problem, sometimes it works and sometimes not. I solved the problem, I just turned it off. The power aspect has always worked well. No problem as now I am the wind sensor.

No wind sensor (thank goodness).
Russell how do you like your 9100 ?

I am contemplating putting one on my coach to replace the manual 8500

I have been very pleased with the Dometic 9100.

No problems, no issues. Easy to use. Handles breeze/wind well. I would install another.

I prefer it over the manual awning on my previous camper.
