Golly, none of you must live in rural the midwest where the wind blows. It often comes up suddenly with out warning. I would love to have a electric awning. I don't use my manual one often because I'm so afraid that it will get ripped off of the TT when I am not around. Yes, you can roll the manual one up too but, it does take a little work and finesse to get it rolled up. When the calm wind suddenly comes up to 25 mph (gusts to 30) and you have to run full speed back to the camper and try to get the awning rolled up in a 25 mph (gust to 30) wind it is not fun.
