It’s just preventing you from foolishly towing with an undersized tow vehicle.
Is this a Grand Design? I bought a new GD 22RBE this year and the first time I used the awning I attempted to tilt it using the support arm and it broke resulting in my thumb being CRUSHED OFF!!!
I have only had mine long enough for 5 trips now. However, I always close the awning when I go to bed, or whenever it no longer is providing benefits. However, I also live in Oklahoma where the wind can go from calm to 40mph gusts without warning.
B.O.A.T.- Bust out another thousand . Unfortunately, this acronym applies to RVs too.
Two things I worry about are the awning or the slide having some kind of breakage like this while I’m camping, and then having to try to figure out how to buckle it up so I can drive home.
Rogue wind?
Has anyone here used these? https://www.amazon.ca/Carefree-R019399-001-Awning-StabilizR-Kit/dp/B00NS7YIMS
I picked up a pair but since it’s winter, they will have to wait until next spring to try out. Would they help to stop this sort of thing?
