On my slides the awnings are attached to the slides so they roll out with the slides. There have been issues with the top of the slides buckling and having to be replaced because of the heat of the sun. If your awnings are the gerard or zip dee on the top of the bus, remember that they are 120 volt on a GFI circuit and they willll not retract in the wind if you are without power or if the GFI has tripped.
