If one uses awning support poles along with awning tie downs then an electric awning would be just as stable and robust as a manual awning, so that one would have the best of both worlds.
Since you install manual poles and manual tie downs, I guess that you have the worst of both worlds.
And in a word I guess you would be wrong. ;)
With the poles / tiedowns you have the option of putting them up and resting easy, OR you have the option of not putting them up and standing with your finger on the button wondering when to push.
If you know that you are in calm / gentle breeze conditions you can opt to not put them up at all.
Either way you have more options and more time to get on with camping. You might want to do a search on the subject (hint - look in the FR forums) and maybe you will have a different opinion.
