What is this part I found in my Newmar

[JBright11]

I would send the picture to Newmar and if you do, please let us know.

Is it a crank to manually bring in the awning?

We have a potential winner, maybe!!
Verbatim response from Newmar:

"Sir,
Thank you for the email. Our team believes this is associated with the main carefree awning. We believe it's a part that can be used if the awning has to be manually retracted. "

Thank you, thank you very much. We have a saying in Texas, even a blind hog can find a nut it Texas.

So Buster's answer was close then! Looks like Texas Clodhopper wins for scoring a direct hit!
