We just installed a new Zip Dee awning and are contemplating whether or not to install the travel latch. The two end screw type fasteners that hold the awing closed and against the coach seem to be adequate however there must be a reason the travel latch came into existence. We would appreciate any comments on the travel latch, when it first became available and why. We realize perhaps it's just a good back up in case one or both of the primary fasteners comes loose during travel. How many of you actually have the travel latch installed with your Zip Dee awning? Has anyone had the unfortunate situation of their Zip Dee awning coming loose during travel?
Secondly, the recommended placement location for the latch is between one and two feet from the rear of the awning/coach. Why isn't this location more towards the front of the coach as that seems the most likely place that there would be turbulence or where the awning might start to come loose.
As always thanks in advance for your comments.
