I'm with Chris. I've been cranking it out about two feet, without deploying the legs, for ten years, mostly to shade the fridge. No problems thus far. This is done only while I'm near the coach, so that I can reel it in if a wind comes up. -- Jon '06 TK "Albatross"
And of course you have to find that sweet spot where the screen door doesn't drag too much on the awning (assuming the main door is left open).

"Can't you get the same result by unrolling the awning several feet without using the support arms? "

Sure, but the method suggested by my friend works just as well when the awning is fully deployed (in which case the support arms are mandatory)--not just when it's out a couple of feet.

Speaking of Coolaroos, I noticed that the Costco nearest me (Denver area) is stocking Coolaroo shade sails now. Must mean summer is near.
