I'm all for new gizmos and automation, but I will surely miss my manual awning when I get around to upgrading the old RV.
X2. I am still trying to figure out why a power awning is seen as a necessity, or even an improvement over the manual kind. The power feature saves probably 90 seconds in setup time, and adds another electromechanical system that can malfunction.
Some of us have disabilities that prevent us from setting up a manual awning, just as we may have a powered OTA TV antenna & satellite dome rather than a crank-up batwing & a separate manual dome or dish.
