How to lose an awning

This isn't a trick of the photo, this awning is literally over the roadway. I drove under it in just my truck.

Oh Iโ€™m sure they did! They just donโ€™t care or arenโ€™t smart enough to realize the problem.

JMO, but all in all the place looks a bit haphazard to me. I don't think I would stay there if I had other options.

For the folks saying I should have stopped, I would have but we were short on time with dinner reservations and no one was outside. Every other time I've driven past (maybe 2 times), it's been in.

The awning has been out and in a few times. My wife said a motorhome had to drive on the grass to the right to get around it.

This is what "can" happen when you have an electric awning.

5 will get you ten here is what happened.

They pull into a campground and make sure they are clearly within their site. They get all set up with water and electricity and all of that and they get into their trailer and someone pushes the button for the awning. The awning pops out and wala; instant problems! They don't even know they have a problem because they are in their trailer pushing buttons.

That's one thing I don't like about this auto stuff. If you don't double check things you can get into trouble.

Wait till he drops the ramp and parks the pair of Harleys behind it.

One of those places that say they are big rig friendly, then you get there and it's NOT!

I wouldn't say a word. How could the owner not know? I'd bet he knows and could care less? Not his fault his rig will not fit in the site. A moron.

It looks like he'll have the whole loop lit up like Las Vegas come this evening with those perty blue lights he has on at noon, so cool.

If anything ask him if he has one of those patio kits for the ramp door. He should deploy that too.

And its black too so any late arrivals will have a harder time noticing it while searching for their site.

If you get rebuffed, report it to CG mgmt. They'll fix it.
