Why an electric awning? I've never used one, but manual awnings don't seem particularly difficult or inconvenient. Manual stuff generally breaks down less often and is easier to troubleshoot and repair.

Most people use an awning for sun I suppose. Mrs. RV8R wants one for the sun & the rain. I can envision us using it in a manor of extending it a foot or two in the rain in order to utilize the slider door and not get in inside of the van as wet.

You know, you could also get out in the rain and crank out the awning for her. 😉
