My wife could never operate a manual awning if a storm came up and I were off somewhere. The awning would be toast. She can push a button though.

Wow - I can't beleive the implications you asserted regarding your wife! My kids could operate the awning as soon as they could reach the lever. It's pretty simple flip the lever one way it goes up, flip it the other way it comes down. Couple of latches and your done.

While I guess I asserted the same implications in a previous post, my wife is a university educated, former corporate Director at one of the largest luxury hotel chains in the world and the smartest person I know. If faced with the prospect of having to manually bring the awning down by herself, she would choose to just not put it up in the first place. She, and a lot of other women I know are wired this way.
