Hey Ron,
Yes, if you happen to lose power you can manually retract the 12' wide Solera XL 12V Power RV Awning # LCV000334919-362241.
To do that you'd just remove the rubber grommet that is on the drive head (right hand side as you're looking at it) assembly, use a 7/16" socket and cordless/electric drill and turn the manual override nut clockwise to extend or counterclockwise to retract the awning.
