Welcome to the forum Jjboggs!

Just guessing from the age of your rig, your awning is most likely deployed and retracted manually through the use of a crank.

Generally the crank is 4-5 feet long with a small shepherd's crook (hook) on the end that catches into a loop at one end if the awning. I allows you to crank the internal gear mechanism.

It could be you did not inherit the crank, but then again, maybe you just haven't found where it's stowed yet. Can you ask the former owner?
