I like our manual awning, mostly because I can stake it down, and reduce the risk of wind damage. If we are going to stay for a few days, I usually detach the legs from the side, and place them upright on the ground. With firmly attached straps, we can survive most normal weather. Still watch the weather reports, and pull it in if doubtful.
I miss those days of having an awning that is useful. That strong triangle formed when the legs are attached to the trailer allow it to be used in less than perfect weather. When in carport mode, you still have metal "rafters" holding the roller in place.
