You are correct on the stability issue.We had some very high winds in the winters we spent in Az and winds coming off Lake Erie in a storm have been known to knock a camper over. We chose to not have anything impede us in retracting the manual awning therefore no tie down with the electric awning a push of a switch does it. Sun dies beat them to death this big sky has the cover and that will help.The main awning on our 06 3400 lasted 5 years in the A Z and Florida sun before it was washed out and dried out
