Awning incidents are the most frequent claims reported. As your leisure and lifestyle insurance specialists, here are some tips for awning care that we think will help you stay safe and avoid any inconveniences while enjoying your Recreational Vehicle.
- Use a tie-down kit to help withstand sudden strong winds.
- Lower one end of awning 2 to 4 inches to allow water runoff.
- When travelling, place velcro strips or bungee cords around the arms as extra security to prevent the awning from accidentally opening.
- Remember to roll up your awning when leaving your RV for an extended period of time.
- Keep in mind awnings are designed as a sunshade, and not as a shelter from rain.
