    Not really, simply two jumper wires and a battery.
  • Carefree and Dometic power awnings require an act of congress and an RV tech to use manually.
  • For emergency retraction purposes they can be operated by plugging wires into the motor and using a battery. Not practical for normal use and no good if the motor is no good.
