I've never seen any wrinkles in the soft sides when I use mine.

I haven't seen the rear awning in use, in person. Mine has the channel and it would sure be handy. But the pictures I've seen really make it look like the top/sidewalls are stressed and pulling the roof toward the back with the awning deployed. Usually you can see a "wrinkle" in the soft sides. I wonder if it stretches it out over time.

Does anyone who uses it have any comments?

Maybe it helps
Don’t worry about the rear!
I have the channels on three sides of my Eagle. Nothing is stressed! No wrinkles to be seen.
The channels are attached to the aluminum welded frame. There is less stress as if for example a Fiamma awning is mounted .
To lessen the stress in high winds I connected the eyelets of the awning with rubber straps to the poles.

The channel for the FWC rear awning is on the roof above the soft sides.

I know the roof is aluminum framed and I have struts, was just commenting on your photo of the side, not rear, awning. I made no comment one way or another about the frame, just the location. :sombrero:

Anyone know if the shell models come with solar plugs already installed for future solar panel installs? Ron

Yes. All new campers come with a roof and rear wall solar plug installed standard.
