Default Wind tolerance on awnings

There is a manual awning fitted for my coach,#435, that I would like to know the following: in the down position, how much of a wind tolerance can it sustain in a wind/rain storm. The awning in question is the main one over the door, about 10 feet long.

Coach awnings without the relatively recently introduced automatic retraction feature should not be left extended in windy weather. We know of no finite "limit," and also would be concerned that a quick response might not be possible to suddenly increasing wind velocity or a strong gust.
