Bummer,
I've always treated that awning with kid gloves! Anything more than light rain, I'll pull it in, (everybody's definition of light light rain will differ). Anything more than a slight breeze and I'll yard it in. Heck there are some days I won't even deploy the thing. I roll it in every night, even if there's no forecast for wind!
That awning is such a large sail area and those arms just don't seem sturdy enough to hold in even moderate wind conditions. I've sat in campgrounds and watch people pull in and set up, they will deploy that awning in gusty winds, it seems like another item on a checklist;
1) parking brake-set
2) levelers-deployed
3) slides-out
4) awning-deployed
Etc,etc,
