We ordered ours with 2 awnings on the curbside. The "automatic" awning over the forward part of the trailer and manual style over the dining room slide. I heartily recommend the second slide awning if you do any hot weather camping. The difference is very noticeable when the awning is set up. I kinda wish I had an awning on the street side at times when that side is facing the West.

The "automatic" awning is now just an electrically operated one. The control retracts it as soon as the temperature goes over 85 degrees in a no wind situation.

Side note. On the "automatic" awning make sure you keep the arms clear of debris and lube the gas rod shafts with some silicone spray. They will bind up and stop the operation of the awning if you don't.
