While manual awnings may be a bit more resistant to wind I don't even remember how manual awnings I have seen wrapped up over the top of the RV in the past 5 years hosting at RV parks. What happens to the support arms isn't pretty either or damage to the RV side and roof.
Mine stays in all the time unless I'm actually under it or at least inside keeping an eye on it. I do like mine out in the afternoons where I'm hosting right now to keep the afternoon sun partially off of the side of my 5'er. Better a/c that way.
