    Electric awnings

    I've posted previously of our on going search for a new 25ft or less travel trailer but haven't gone off the edge regarding how frustrating "new and improved" has been and I'll try to steer clear of it for the most part. Every TT we've looked at and every video (probably 100s) electric awnings...
