Power awning extended while driving

[phylandmac]

My 2008 Damon Tuscany with Dometic power awning. While driving at 65 the awning extended fully. The cause: Water coming along the wire that runs from the right front wheel while driving in the rain, shorted the Dometic controller located in the basement compartment directly behind the wheel well. This could have been a disaster! Check your units, and consider installing a switch to cut power to the controller while under way, as well as moving the controller to another location if you find any water coming in along the wires.
