Does anyone have experience with the after market travels locks advertised to keep the awning from unfurling during travel?
Product info, comments (critical or otherwise),suggestions etc, are welcome.
Cheers.
Added: It's an A&E, 3 years old and I've had a problem with the pawl assembly. The pawl would not engage the toothed wheel and would unfurl. A new assembly appeared to have a series of detents as opposed to the tooth and pawl and did not seem as strong to me. I managed to obtain an entire spring assembly salvaged from a newer model RV which had storm damage and it works like new. Believing in Murphy's Law, I'm trying to prevent an accidental unfurling while while making a strategic withdrawal from Winter's onslaught here in PA to our R&R location near Polk City,FL.
Many thanks to all who replied. Lots of good ideas.
Cheers,
Chuck
