Default RV Slide Out Awning

Does anyone have any experience installing one of those awning covers that automatically unroll when you extend your RV slide outs? I am wanting to get one but don't know if it is something I want to attempt myself or just pay for my local RV place to do it. It's an Rpod 178 so the slide out is about 6' wide.

they work well but don't leave them out in the heavy winds or hail

medium difficulty to install

great for keeping crap out of the camper that comes in on top the slide

So if it gets windy have to pull your slide in.
I have been in some terrible winds and never had a problem.
