Do not use awnings in heavy rain?????? Really???

So out shopping for a new motorhome looking at Gas to pushers read the owners manual on a new Tiffin Red as wife likes the 37 PA and it tells me to put the awning away in a rainstorm ? I live in Wash...

All though this is undoubtedly correct I use my manual awnings frequently in the rain. But I roll them up if it looks like a rain (storm) is coming. I never leave them unattended as the wind comes up quickly here.
