Never owned one but I have seen two at campgrounds wrapped over the top of coaches due to a sudden wind burst. So if the wind give the awning a coupe of easy warning gust it will retract but it it is just hit with one big gust it is over your roof before it has time to sense it and retract it.
Same with a manual, if the wind give you warning gust you can put it in, if not it can be over your roof before you think about it.
