A&E awnings have some motors that were manufactured early 2013 that fail unexpectedly and let the awning unroll with catastrophic results. It must be taken to the dealer to have the motor assembly replaced before using the RV.
Can't tell from looking at the exterior if it is an affected unit or not. If possible place some large wire ties around the arms near the top to help prevent it from opening and hitting someone as they come down with quite a bit of force. Although this will not prevent the fabric from unrolling while driving and causing damage to awning assembly or RV.
