I had them on my previous coach and liked them, but times have changed. I think there could be several reasons why they have been disappearing. First, more manufacturers are making their coaches more aerodynamic with frameless windows and less clutter on the sidewalls. The awnings had a tendency to billow while driving in certain wind conditions. They were/are an added expense and maintenance item. You also see more windows are heavily tinted versus the clear windows of the past.
