We had a 22' awning on our Holiday Rambler. It was "too long for its own good".... Three times we had to replace the awning roller tube. The first time it was because the tube bent from towing. We installed a center arm/support to prevent that problem. The second time it was because rain filled the awning (even though one end was lowered to help drain the awning fabric). The third time it was because the wind blew a bit harder than the awning roller could resist.....

Moral of my story is that I'll never own another awning longer than 16-18 feet. Any more "RV side shade" required, I'll install 2 awnings rather than one long one. YMMV
