Rip it off and throw it away - probably not :-) Retract as well as possible and use duct tape for the loose parts? Call a tow truck?

As a long-time computer guy, I like to plan for the worst case scenarios!

My vote is for retract as best you can and bind up the loose parts with duct tape and/or bungee cord. Worst case would be to break out the tools and try to carefully remove it and stow it inside the coach.

So far, knock on wooden head, we've had no issues like this for any awning.
