Awnings

I know wind out awnings are easier and ours does come out of a canister and is tightened and locked down by guy ropes. We have never had our awning blown out by windy weather whereas others around us have had their awnings damaged unless they wind them in especially if they are going away for the day or overnight. Thank you for your info it is much appreciated. Wiseman

Thanks for responding and yes my husband is quite adept at putting up our Coolibah awning. Other caravanners often ask why we have this awning but my husband always says we don't have to worry about wind unless cyclonic and then everyone has to worry.

Thank you for replying. Yes, like you I have concerns for my husband being able to continue putting up our awning and it is him who says if we get a new van we must have the Coolibah awning (we have had our present one for 12 years).
I think it might be less angst if we stay with our present van which is in great condition but doesn't have ensuite.
Anyway thanks for your input.
