Tom, there are several good power awning company's out there like Girard, A&E awning are two of the most popular, a quick search on the internet will give you other choices as well. I have both currently and happy with them ,Hope that helps?

I put a Dometic 16' power awning with Led lighting on my trailer. Nice unit so far.

Ours is a Carefree,power in and out and retracts when it gets windy. Have had it 2 years no problems.

We installed the Dometic 9500 Case power awning last season and really like it.

I've got a A&E Dometic. Its the biggest power one they make. But I'd have to measure it to tell you how long it is. It does NOT have auto wind retract. My old trailer had the one with the auto wind retract. It was a pain in the rear. Not sure if something was wrong with it or what. But it would retract out of the blue. Even if the wind wasn't blowing. The power is nice. But nothing wrong with the manual ones. Biggest advantage is if it start raining.You don't get soaked trying to put the awning in. Camping world used to have a deal where it you bought it from them. And had it shipped to their store. They would install it for free. That's How I did the first one. But my current stacker. I installed the channel and awning myself. If you have a couple ladders and 2 helpers its easy to do. My wife and my neighbors teenager were my helpers and trust me neither has ANY mechanical experience.
