Depending on the brand there might be a manual retract feature and, as with slides, the time to figure out how to do it is on a nice day when you’ve got time. You’ll be glad you did when something fails on a rainy day when you need to be somewhere else. On my Freedom Elite the awning had real difficulty retracting on its own. Never actually failed but I worried about it. I found that it helped a lot to do it with shore power connected or the engine running. The little bit of extra voltage on the 12V system made the difference.
