Pros Cons of Power Awnings for Trailer and RV s

• One-touch button automatically winds the awning in or out. No having to get dressed in the middle of the night if a storm bucks and you need to wind the awning in.

• The power awning means easier set up for RV and camping activities. No need to battle with manual awning arms and having to run back and forth to get the awning setting straight. 

• Kids or elderly people can easily wind the awning out to give you shade relief while you attend to the other set up chores for your trailer and RV, such as setting the jacks. 

• Power awnings are already set to accommodate the swing of the RV s door. Manual awnings set too low are an accident waiting to happen. The RV s door can tear or scuff the awning fabric as it swings open and closed.

• Another electric part with the potential to fail and require maintenance. 

• Some power awnings have only one setting when extended, which is 90 degrees out from the side of the RV. With no setting to slant the electric awning, there is no way to ensure water will run off. These awnings will collect all the water and a dirty puddle will form on the awning. 

• If the power awning on the trailer and RV do not have a slant setting, then washing of the awning will be a challenge. To wash the top side you will need to use a ladder or climb onto the roof of the trailer and RV to access the surface area. 

• Power awnings for trailer and RV are becoming popular options. Awnings make RV and camping outdoor living possible and enjoyable, but weigh the pros and cons before you buy!
