Ok, here's another weird question. I wonder if I have a ghost in the house.
I have an electric awning that randomly keeps automatically closing. It's designed to do this when there are high winds, but there wasn't even a slight breeze. It just up and closed for no apparent reason.
Any ideas?

Ours did that also so we turned off the wind sensor.

Odd as there was absolutely no wind or even a breeze. In fact, previously when there was a high wind, it didn't close.
Where would I find the wind sensor?

Ours did the same thing. It would close when there was absolutely not breeze at all and not close when the wind was blowing a gale. We just turned it off. Just don't put it out when the wind is blowing and don't leave it out at night or when you are away.

There has been so many problems with wind sensors that I believe DRV is no longer installing them. They are just installing the manually activated electric awnings. I believe on your year of rig, the sensor is on the roof just above the awning. I also suggest unplugging the sensor at the control module in the basement and just go with manual operation as other have already said.

I tried unplugging on our Mobile Suites, but I must have unplugged the wrong thing because then we couldn't put out the awning. I've since not bothered with it. Like the others, pull them in when you will be gone for any significant length of time. If you are in an area subject to winds, being out could cause damage to either or both the awning or the coach.
I also tend to pull them in if rain is imminent. I don't like the idea of rolling up a wet awning and leaving it rolled for any significant length of time.
