I've had 2 main problems in using the pole style awnings.
1. They collect rainwater and sag or collapse.
2. The top of the door rubs against them when you open and close it.
If I had it to do over, I would add 2 telescoping tent poles with a cord tied between them in clothesline fashion like in this sketch to increase the pitch angle and make more headroom.
Another problem with these awnings is of course tripping over the tie down ropes but after a few nose dives, one learns to be careful.
Bright colored rope might help.
The 14' awning on Mrs LR's Overlander (formerly mine) folded nicely into a compact little square bundle and was easy to store in a closet along with the tent poles. Rolling it would have created a storage problem. Installing and removing it from the track really isn't much of a hassle after you've done it a few times. Much easier than setting up a tent.
