If the issue is loss of 12V power to the RV or your awning's power circuit, the awning can be retracted by applying an external 10-14V DC power source directly to the motor. Unfortunately, the Carefree Longitude awning does not have a manual crank override. If the motor has completely failed and won't operate even with external power, the motor would have to be replaced.
