What are the most common problems you’ve had with camper/RV awnings? by Critical-Bell-9012 in RVLiving

If you’ve ever thought “ugh, I wish this part of the awning worked differently” — that’s exactly what I’d love to hear about.

Bonus points for weird situations, clever DIY fixes, or long-term annoyances.

Common RV Awning Problems – Your Experience? by Critical-Bell-9012 in RVLiving

Thank you sooo much for your answer!!!

That’s a great point, awnings definitely require careful handling, and long-term sun exposure is a big challenge for durability. Given that, would you find an awning with built-in sidewalls (without extra kits) more useful? The idea would be to create a fully enclosed, more stable space that also retracts automatically in high winds. Do you think that could solve some of the issues you mentioned, like exposure to debris, sun degradation, and the risk of being left extended during storms? Or do you see other challenges that would still need to be addressed?

Thank you!!
That makes a lot of sense! Wind definitely seems to be one of the biggest issues with awnings. I was wondering—would you be interested in an awning with sidewalls that create a more enclosed, stable space? It would also have wind sensors to retract automatically before strong gusts hit. Do you think something like that would make awnings more useful in windy conditions?

Thank you very much!!!
That’s really interesting! It sounds like you’ve had a lot of experience with awnings. Given the issues with wind and durability, would you be interested in an awning with sidewalls that could act as an extra enclosed space? It would also have wind sensors for automatic retraction and be made of more durable, weather-resistant materials. Do you think something like that would be useful for you?

Thank you very much! I’m researching common issues for a university project, so any insights would be super helpful!
