Also several mounting screws missing and broken off. Can anyone shed some light on this .

On the '16 Bounder 35K (Sceptre has a different design as I don't believe it has the Illumaplex system) it is not a wind sensor per se. It is a motion sensor. There is a module inside the awning the can detection how much the awning is bouncing. When it bounces too much it will automagically retract.
There have been some complaints about this awning. The design without the downward legs require it though. If you want to risk it, Carefree will provide a less sensitive sensor. It is free for the asking as I understand it. You need to contact Carefree directly with your product and SN number (I believe).
Missing screws are very common. There are numerous thread in this forum on the topic. They should be installed, 2 per mount if I recall correctly.
Hope that helps
