You probably have a Carefree of Colorado Latitude patio awning like I have. If it moves to violently it will retract automatically. There is a warning in the owners manual that states "do not hang or tie anything to the awning". The motor end of the awning contains a solid state "g" meter than senses movement. When the awning's movement exceeds the programed amount three times with in 20 seconds the awning will automatically retract. As a safety feature, the awning will not extend or retract with the engine ignition on. I found that out the hard way ($120).
