The awning is one of the few parts of a camper that has to work perfectly every single time, in wind, rain and dust, after years of use.
The new mounting system moves the load closer to the body frame rather than the roof edge. That single change reduced flex noticeably in crosswinds.
Deployment
One person can deploy the awning in under a minute without tools. The arms lock positively at three positions rather than relying on friction alone.
