I had a manual awning on my 22' TT and the 24' C that we now have has an electric. I prefer the electric hands down. Since it is so easy to just hold down a button and watch it roll up nice and snug I never hesitate to do it. With the manual I sometimes waited too long before giving in and going through the hassles of manually rolling it up.
I have learned {the hard way}, to NEVER leave an awning, any awning, up over night or when we leave the site. The electric makes this much easier {and far more likely}, to accomplish. I would never trust {as in leave the site}, an automatic, wind sensing roll up device. I've seen too many of them fail usually with disastrous results.
As always.... Opinions and YMMV.
