well.... I don't have that feature, but I'll comment anyway.

It strikes me that what he's getting at is plausible.
but stating a specific distance...or any distance really... seems a bit of a stretch to me.
I get that the gas strut might have a different rate than the motion of the awning's motor.... and his primes is that the strut is slower. How much slower?
also, he's saying that the strut has enough internal capacity for over pressurization equivalent to 2ft of awning travel. OK, gas is compressible...and ok, the seals/strut has some sort of pressure limit....
but if it's 2ft of travel. Aint it going to over pressurize over the next two feet of travel???
So my take is that if this 2ft number is correct...you'd better be stopping every 2ft or less all the way out!

Personally, I think the idea is sound.... but the number has been pulled out of the air.
