Awning Replacement

I need to replace my awning on my 2004 2880RL. I want to convert to electric. Which would you recommend, Carefree or Dometic?

Have had both. No problems with either. Dometic seems to be the brand most often seen.

Having had two manuals and two electric, I actually like the manuals better. True, the electric are easier to retract and extend, but the manuals are more versatile (e.g. can be adjusted easier, tied down easier, and the legs can be put out vertically.)

The electric also look better, but if I had a choice I would go back to the manual in a heartbeat.

We've gotten good service from our Dometic.
