I have a feeling that's what Beau388 ended up doing when he almost fell off the ladder while working on his and it suddenly began retracting. That would be a rude awakening...and potentially dangerous!
I guess one could test it out by having the awning out, gently jostling it with a broom until it retracted, and then repeating this procedure -- but after switching the batteries to 'store' when putting the awning out the second time. Then you'd know for sure.
Personally, I'm glad that this awning had that feature. It saved me from a potentially costly and stupid mistake. Interestingly, the guy who did the walk-through with us specifically said that there wasn't any such sensor on the awning. Maybe something Thor recently began using on the 29M?...I don't know.
Back to the maiden voyage...
