Options to Help Reduce Noise From an Awning with Solera Smart Arms Flapping in the Wind at Night
Updated 07/14/2022 | Published 07/13/2022
Question:
Is there something that will keep the fabric from my awning with Solera Smart arms from flapping in the wind overnight? It makes quite a bit of noise and Im afraid itll disturb neighbors at the campground. Or would simply rolling it up overnight be a better solution?

Expert Reply:
We do have something that will help. Honestly, your best option for noise reduction is to roll the awning up. That said, since your awning has the Solera Smart Arms you can add the Solera Smart Arm Wind Sensor Kit # LC715123.
The Solera Smart Arm Wind Sensor Kit # LC715123 has 3 different levels of wind sensitivity, or you can completely deactivate the wind sensor altogether. This will allow you to leave your awning extended at night and if it gets too windy the awning will automatically retract. This will help in inclement weather and help reduce noise if the winds pick up causing your awning to flap.
