My wife does not take directions well ( from me ). So if she were to get directions on how to open or close a manual awning it would never ever come down. If I put it down and was to go off somewhere, she would say to put it up before I left or not put it down at all. She would not even try to learn. Not only will I say she couldn't, but I will say she wouldn't even try. She is not mechanical, she would use a hammer for a screw driver job.
She does not read this forum and would have no desire to. So I am safe.
She is not dumb or unintelligent as she graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Masters degree in speech therapy.
She can and will push a button.
Our first 5ver many years ago had a manual and it was only down one time.
