We were in fresno at a friend s house in 2014 had the awning out and realized it was raining hard.
With a wind sensor mounted on the roof of your rv your awnings will automatically retract before the wind speed exceeds what your awnings are rated to handle.
D on irv2 forums for example.
The only way to obtain the wind sensor is to upgrade your arms using the solera smart arm 12v power rv awning conversion kit part lc759516 for 63 arms or part lc759517 for 69 arms.
An ignition interlock prevents the awning from being opened accidentally while the rv is moving for more safety on the road.
I discovered while washing the roof that the sensor would activate if you spray water from a hose directly on the roof unit.

In that case you want to avoid attaching things like globe patio lights to the awnings since they would get crushed if the awnings started to automatically retract due to high winds.
Then it won t extend again unless i disconnect and reconnect the 12v power supply.

Motorized retractable awnings often use a wind sensor or motion sensor that automatically retracts the awning to prevent damage to the arms if the wind speed gets too high.

No need to worry while you are away from the campsite.
The power awning pro includes an advanced wind sensor that closes the awning automatically when high winds are detected.
This model has a sensitivity setting 3 different settings low medium and high if it is set on high then it will take more motion for it to close the lower it.
When extended rv awnings can collect puddles and become heavy with rainwater.
Then it just repeats as before.
This carefree awning retractor uses a motion sensor that is located within the motor head.
