You just answered a question I had about how are they during storms. Sorry to hear of the damage. I think I'd not use it in bad weather. Maybe just unzip it from awning and let it lay till storm goes away and put it back up after. Of course, I'm from the learning, as a kid, of put the awning away if you''ve got too much wind, or a wicked looking storm on the way.
My old PUP did not come with a cabana or add-a room (missing or broke at some time in it's long life I would guess)
I just purchased A&E Dometic Cabana Screen Room POP UP for $150 (plus freight to Canada)

Have not tried it out yet (still incoming).
Was MUCH cheaper that a bag awning plus the add-a-room. If I could find a inexpensive Bag Awning/Add-a-room combo for 11' I would have purchased it.
I will have to compare this Cabana to when I had a Bag Awning/add-a-room combo when I get a chance.
Fritz, I think this is it

Had issue with him shipping direct to Canada however - so sent it to my Viaddress in Elkhart Indiana. Then I have it shipped to me here in Canada. No issues there.
Look it up on Camping World, it shows the awning, breezeway and privacy views. It comes with snaps to attach to the Pup but I use magnets on the lift arms and bungee's. I love mine, I can put up by myself. It stows in a bag for travel. It also comes with screen for the Pup wheel well and side to be total protection. I got another awning rail to use that part, we need total protection in Fl. Got mine from Bannerbreeze on ebay. as they are made for R Pods that have a curved awning rail, get a bigger size and it will reach the ground, at your Pup, otherwise you will need to add canvas to the bottom or lower your awning rail. Hope this helps 8)

Same thing happen to us. Had the awning secured and roped down with massive pegs. Awning slightly angled for rain run off and bam: storm blew in and destroyed the aluminum pole assembly on the trimline awning. I was not impressed with it upon buying it...i just knew there would be problems so I tried to forecast what 'could' potentially go wrong. The overall design is flawed and should be scrapped. There is definitely major improvements that could be done as this seems to be the norm for alot of us.
