Hi, fellow freedom lovers
You all have been so helpful, with answering questions for me. As you know, my husband and I will be buying the new fiver, we found one we like and can live with the floor plan. We have an option to get the roll out awnings attached to the slide outs. Now the RV rep, said "Well, it is up to you, but my opinion is they make flapping noise when the wind is howling, and you can not get it to quit unless you bring the slide out in it can be annoying." We do not have them on our current fiver, and wonder if there are in pro's to getting them, and any cons? We do camp where it can get quite windy, so does that mean they can just rip right off? or are they just another thing to replace when needed? I was thinking they would protect the slide outs a little, and provide shade over the top...but wonder if it is more cosmetic than really useful? I look forward to your help, and thank you in advance for your time. Safe travels....
