Carefree wind sensor
« on: September 16, 2014, 03:23:44 PM »
Hello fellow BAC members, my better half and I are currently at Beaver Coach Sales getting some repairs done on the Thunder. One of the items is the carefree eclipse wind sensor which lost a cup. I thought it was not replaceable but I was pleasantly surprised to find there is a replacement now installed on our Beaver. The design is more like blades instead of cups but it is replaceable. Just an FYI. Have a wonderful day my friends!!

 Also, I thought it was not replaceable and they had to install a vibration sensor on  the  arm of the awning. It was good to see they could replace the old cup sensor with something new.
