I have some questions to better understand the reality of RV awnings, in terms of general characteristics, recalls and sustainability.
1. What are the dimensions of your RV awning?
2. Is it electric/automatic or manual or hybrid?
3. Have you encountered any issues with your awning (durability, setup, wind resistance, ...)?
4. If you could improve your awning, what features or innovations would you like to see (in terms of sustainability, such as solar integration, eco-friendly materials, better energy efficiency, or generally (for example: wind sensors, ...)?
5. Which types of RVs are the most common in your state (travel trailers, Class A motorhomes, ...) in your opinion?
6. What is, in your opinion, the most common awning size in your state (6 meters / ~20 feet, 8 meters / ~26 feet, ...)?

Questions 3,5 and in particular 6 are just plain silly! There is no common size in my state! People normally buy the length they need and not an inch longer.. You don't open the awning if it is very windy, and for 5, I would have to say caravans/hybrid..
1) 6mt by 3mt
2) electric/hybrid
4) wind sensor with magic ball/hybrid
In my opinion this research is useless.. hybrid...

We have a Dometic 16 roll out. This is our second in 15 years. First one lasted 10 yrs.
