The trailer in my signature came with a Dometic 9100 series awning. Virtually every time I have used it (the awning) it has resulted in damage to the trailer. Every time, another part of the awning breaks and tears up another part of my trailer. I have replaced parts, and they break the next time I deploy the awning. The best awning I ever had was on my 1988 Hawkins Motor Coach. It was an A&E, but I see they have been taken over by Dometic. I have also had a Careless Carefree of Colorado awning. It was as bad a piece of junk as this Dumbetic Dometic. Does anyone make a sturdy, dependable, manually deployed awning anymore, or are they all junk? Just trying to decide whether to replace the Dometic or go awning free.
