I toggled the awing button on the control panel and Zilch. I checked all the fuses and breakers, everything was good.

Any ideas?

Seems like it calls for a little troubleshooting.  Dave is right on.  You can get a little digital multimeter at Walmart for about $10 or, for 12v, even a test light for about a buck will work.  If you've checked the fuses carefully, I'd probably start at the switch.  Make sure all the wires are screwed down tight at the fuse box, the switch and at the motor.  If the juice is getting to the switch make sure it's coming out the other side when the switch is closed.  (Could be a bad switch.)  Check the ground connections.  Most likely this is something really simple.  If you're under warrenty you can go to the dealer, but for a lot of people that's a 4 hour round trip, or more, that you usually have to make twice, to drop off and to pick up.

The same issue happened to us this fall.  The awning tested fine at the dealership.  A few days later, when we took our first camping trip with the new R pod190, we attempted to put out the awning and no response.  Though I do not possess your technical skills I reasoned that it might be a fuse.  I checked the fuses with a meter.  They seemed fine.  Still I bought some new fuses and replaced them one by one, no difference.

Called the dealer and took the R Pod in for some small warranty work and the awning issue.  One month later we got the R Pod back.  A good thing I winterized it before taking it to the dealership.  The repair department said it was a fuse.  Perhaps it was an in line fuse of which I am not aware.  The dealership could not tell me what fuse it was as the technician who worked on my unit was not at work the day I put it up (first day of deer season in Michigan).  I again checked the awning before leaving the dealership and it worked.  The R pod now sits in outside storage for the winter.  We shall see if it works when we take it out this spring.

I certainly wish Forest River would put out a good owners manual with a wiring diagram for owners.  It would make trouble shooting much easier.

any chance you could tell me the dealer so I can call then and ask if they remember the issue and find out where the fuse was?

Thanks in advance

This implies that there is not a dedicated fuse in the fuse panel. I guess you could say it's good news that they put in a fuse in the first place. Too bad they hid it behind the panel.

This would be a good time to put a separate panel-mounted fuse holder along side the fuse panel. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51MNlRNVdeL._SL1000_.jpg - Something like this .

Originally posted by CoffeeGuyR190 Still no relief on this issue. Not sure where an inline fuse might be hiding.

Quite possibly behind the control switch. This were owners of Carefree power awnings have reportedly found one.

Wait What??? The fuse is behind the panel? Who designed this?

Originally posted by michaeln That's lame.  At least on my 171 there were several open slots for wiring and fuses on the fuse panel.  Why would they not use one of those?

No its beyond lame because, pardon me please, but you should be able to read directly off the fuse if you look. Because its printed or engraved on the fuse no matter what style fuse, what its amperage and voltage rating is. If you have to get a magnifying glass because the information is there right on the fuse! If someone knows otherwise please do show me because I've never seen it before. Again please forgive me if I sound harsh but the information should be on the fuse.

Great news!  I removed the converter tonight. Low and behold.... the fuse holder. I found it buried under the birdcage of wiring and changed out the fuse. Its a 15 AMP automobile type fuse and immediately rectified my source of angst for many weeks.
