cause severe damage to the awning and/or the recreation vehicle. If wind
or extended periods of rain are expected, retract the awning.
It is recommended that if leaving the recreation vehicle unattended for a
length of time you should retract the awning to avoid unexpected weather
conditions.
Each power awning will have its own control switch, which is typically located on the
command center switch panel located inside the entrance door. Pressing and holding the
switch will extend or retract the awning.
