We usually retract the awning if we're going to be away from the trailer for the day.

I learned the hard way about retracting the awning. We were in NC last week when it started to rain . 5 minutes the awning collapsed . No pooling . From now on if it starts to rain up goes the awning . The supports are not the strongest in the world . $325.00 for arm and 1 1/2 hours for labor. A lesson learned . Thor ACE 29.3
