I am seriously contemplating an "automatic" awning and would like to know if anyone can compare and contrast the ZipDee vs. the Girard in terms of usability, reliability etc. other than the obvious. I have learned that the Girard is 110V and armless and the ZipDee is 12V and has arms. The difference in voltage and arms vs. armless really makes no difference to me so it's the other "features" that I am interested in comparing.

What are the good features and drawbacks of each and how would you compare them to A&E or Carefree etc. My only previous experience has been with A&E awnings on my last rv which was a class A.

Thanks..

Scott
