![]() ![]() Wind sensor is more of a headache than help. Generally when out I have remote in pocket and can roll up in a moment if things turned real ugly. Its more durable in winds than most think.Īdd one more for the gang that doesn't rely on it. Izzy, Pepper & BuddyP - Gone but not forgotten We have had the same experiences as you have. My computer beat me at chess once but it was no match for me at kickboxing. I broke mine off when a tree reached out to grab it - never replaced the sensor and never missed it. Would never leave the rig for very long with an awning out of any type.Ģ011 GMC Sierra 2500HD Duramax/Allison SRWĭoes anyone know how the Girard awnings do in wind? The have a real anemometer on the roof of the coach so I'd think it's a bit more reliable. I have had my Weather Pro sensor and controller replaced twice, Dometic say's replace both at same time as they are a matched set, and I wouldn't trust it any further than I could throw the MH. I have sat in a lawn chair, experimenting, with the remote in hand during windy conditions and it is really scary what that awning will do in a high wind. Most of the time I chicken out and push the remote before it rolls up on it's own. Besides, by then, the wife is usually begging me to roll it up before it blows off. I'm told the controller has some kind of constant wind monitoring system where the wind has to be sustained at 18 mph, for a certain period of time before it rolls up. Well, winds where I travel are seldom constant at a certain speed and I know w/o a doubt that a good gust could destroy it before the system ever woke up and gave a Roll Up Command. My experimenting has led me to this conclusion: sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Have heard their sensors did change but don't know the specifics. ![]()
