The thing I would be concerned about with that would be when fully extended the strain on the side of the van. Love the idea of being fully electric with wind detection

Seems a great idea, but at £1000 for the smallest one I would rather wind it in myself and save £500.

Funny how one of the recommended add on's is the tie down kit, how does that work then?

LOL.
I thought there may be a few comments about that.

I would love to see it self winding back in while tied down.

Has to put terrible stress on the outer wall if the motorhome,it could compromise the seal between the roof and side wall in time. What if one of those big sea gulls like the ones in Howth landed on the outer edge of it.

Some of them are fecking huge! Not a good place to spend an evening watching Alfred Hitchcock's Birds and then go for a stroll.

Mind you spotting harbour seals each time a boat would go out provided great entertainment for my lot.

Now back on topic. +1 on what Ally said.
