I have used the original De-Flappers for years, you know the little wimpy ones. I have had them pull off, break, get loose, even had the fabric straps break. I bought a bunch of extra ones thinking as the quote goes, "quantity has a quality all it's own."Then I got these monsters last camping season and used them a lot, I'm talking several weeks, in some high winds and also with an occasional heavy wet snow load up in the mountains. I could not be happier with these. I read one review saying they weighed too much. They do weigh a lot, but I don't think that is a bad thing. They weigh a lot because they are truly heavy duty. When you open the box and inspect the de-flappers the weight will be noticeable. It says right in the product description they measure 3 x 7.3 x 12.5 inches and weigh 1.8 pounds (each), shipping weight is 6.2. I can't understand how someone can order something where the weight is disclosed and then complain about the weight; oh well.I also read reviews saying the knobs come off and I was naturally leary about this. If the knobs have a propensity to do this it has not been seen on my units and I put a lot of torque on them. I know that if the large rubber knob(s) does come off I will simply weld a piece of steel to the head of the bolt (example: link from a chain would work perfectly) and crank it down.When others I camp with saw these de-flappers they purchased some themselves. If knobs have come off I haven't seen such.I saved the little de-flappers in case I need them. I have never used them since I got these monsters. Wish I had gotten them earlier.

I bought a set of the Camco De-Flapper Max's at the beginning of the season when I put a new awning fabric on the RV...and let me tell you, they have been great!They go on and off easily...maybe a minute to install both of them. They are tough, solid, and if cared for, I can easily see them lasting 2-3 hard seasons. They really reduce the flapping...and being over 9-inches long, they don't just 'micro-grab' a little point on your awning, but put a good distributed clamp on it. They are rubber-padded where they touch your fabric, so they don't cause a 'compression cut' over time, either.Overall, they are the best de-flappers I've ever used. Highly recommend...would buy and use again. Oh, yeah, and I'm posting this after setting them up and using them over 65-times since the start of season, so this isn't a 'just bought them' response.

Had an earlier set of these that held up and performed well however, the new versions are junk. I have gone through 2 sets and need another due to the knobs stripping with the needed torque to hold my awning. The latest style simply has a shallow retainer cup for the bolt head and is grossly under designed. I emailed Camco and received no reply so their not a customer oriented company apparently. I'll return this last set and with the new ones retro-fit a knob with captive bolt to eliminate the design flaw. Big hassle and lack of customer service is very dissappointing.
