I'm very surprised that a 2016 Voltage would not have a power awning over the deck.

He doesn't have a Voltage. He has an XLR 395AMP. The change to electric happened mid year. The OP has a Voltage but I'm not sure if they are electric or manual.

I wasn't told about the option but rather, I asked my dealer if it could be done when my trailer was on order. They got with XLR who gave them the go ahead and pricing and I added it to my order. As an upgrade it was only $150 more as I got the credit for my manual awning. It would cost more after the trailer is already built as there is no power there. I'm guessing they could tap the power for the happijac bed system which is very close by on the inside? As I said, they now changed the line over so they are all power. They all also have an LED light strip under them just like the side awnings.

These things are constantly changing, not just with model year changeover. I missed a couple of options by two weeks. I've since added them though...

Yes, we've used it a few times Tony. Ours is power so it makes it easy. (It was an off list option.) However, now they are all power now.

Rodney, have you used your patio awning at all yet? I forgot mine was even up there, I haven't tried it out yet.

The rear awning doesn't open on it's own. It operates independent of the ramp. If it is a manual awning, it will crank out the same way you crank it in, with the supplied crank rod. If it's a power awning, there will be a switch for it in your garage.

You must have received a manual describing how to do it.

Is there a brand name on the rear ramp awning?

The rear canopy that goes out over the back porch that extends when you drop the toy hauler door.
