I have high expectations for my F35, but I also realize the limitations.  As
I posted earlier, I make sure I stake it down securely and then put it away
if we get bad weather.  I have never had any pieces break or any trouble
putting it away.

One of the advanges to this awning is the weight.  It weighs about half the
F45 and I feel a little better about it on the side of my van.

If you want an awning that will take more abuse, the F45 is the way to go.

Parts are available to repair your F35 Pro.
