Electric awning questions

Can an electric awning ever be manipulated manually? Will it run just off of the trailer battery? What if you are boon-docking and do not have access to electricity, can you open and close the awning? Something I am considering for a new trailer with the option of an electric awning.

Our electric awning runs off the battery. We use it a lot when we go day camping at the local lake or at the beach with no hook-ups. Every awning operates differently, so check the manual or tell us what brand and model you have for a more appropriate answer.

Ours came with some cables and clips to bypass the switch in the event it could not be retracted with the switch. However, it still needs 12v from a battery to operate.
