When we were in Nashville a couple of weeks ago, there was a 05 Prevost Royal with its Girrard just
flapping in the wind, looked like it was just about to collapse over on top. We had stopped and ask
why didn't the awning go in automatically, The guy could have shot us. He said it has lost power
somehow, imagine that!
Dale,

The Girard awning on my coach operates on 120v thru the inverter, the wind sensor operates on 12v. Do you know how your friend's awning was wired?
It must have been wired directly to the 120v electrical system or he could have had a bad switch. Did he know that he could manually close it?

But you are correct, like so many of the accessories on these coaches any accessory can and will fail.
