Dometic awning

How do you manually over ride the electric awning to open it, so I can get to the wiring?

Actually, I'm not sure the manual does. The override it talks about is only for retracting it.

I've never seen details on how to force it to extend.

All I can find is for retracting. I can’t find any for extending

I would think you could take the set screw out and extend just like you do to retract. It would be spring loaded wanting to retract on it's own though until you put the set screw back in. (provided it is this type of awning)
You might have to turn the roller tube by hand since you wouldn't have the emergency strap installed like you would if failed extended.
