I have seen a lot of that too. More than once Barb, the kids and I have gone for a walk after a storm and seen damaged awnings. I have nearly always done this too and pulled in the awning when away but was thinking that a foot or two just to cover the slideout would not catch enough wind to be a problem. Sure don't want to come back after a day out to find my center tube with a big bend in it and arms pulled out of the trailer though.

Given how little the awning projects past the slide on a 297RSTS it might have been better if GD had put a slide topper on the trailer vs that awning. Or put the awning on the slide (like on my 315) versus on the trailer's wall. One of the few odd choices on an otherwise outstanding trailer IMO.

Yes I totally agree with this as well. First trip out I was thinking this. The LED lights over the slide out really don't do anything to light up under the awning either. This is one of the few things I don't like. The only other couple (kitchen and bathroom sinks) I changed out. Won't be doing the awning though. Might think about a light (LED strip) though on the kitchen slide out.

We had them included when we ordered the trailer. The dealer did the install before we took delivery.
