Sorry, I don't have that information for you. I suspect you would be more likely to find that information through an online forum for recreational vehicle owners.
I see the iRV2.com website has a forum for just those who own Fleetwood travel trailers and other RVs: http://www.irv2.com/forums/f107/
Some of the LED Awning Lights will not run up the arm, where they are interested into the side seam if the vinyl of the awning. I have seen after market work done where the wiring is cut into the edge seam and sealed up afterwards so you minimize and wiring being twisted up at the motor assembly or needing to have an open slip ring to get power to the lights, which can become corroded or need cleaning frequently. Start by having the awning open and looking for working coming out the the wall at the anchor rails. There will be one cable for the motor to extend and retract the awning, so don't get them confused. The wiring for the motor will be larger than the LED power wiring.
Loosen holding screws and unclip both arms
Flick the up/down lever then pull on black cord as you walk back away from RV
Slide both side arms up main arms, lock in place and then tension the awning and tighten lock screws
Release lock clips on main arms and slide them up [ halfway each side is probably best for your awning]
Support legs can be left attached to RV [safest] or can be separated and stand upright, using tent pegs into ground to secure or awning tie downs
That's an interesting question as for me because every single year the market shows us new manufacturers which are even better then the previous ones. For example the latest source https://highskyrvparts.com/rv-parts/awning-shade/room-enclosures which I checked while looking for rv awning enclosure. It also may be helpful for you (if you're still interested in).
Manual or electric. If electric press the switch located inside the unit. If manual, you will need to go to each arm and press the release clips to unlock the arms (usually black but may be a lift up lock). Next tank the long rod with a loop on one end and a 90 deg hook on the other. Toward the front of the coach at the top of the awning you will see a small lever on the awning. Use the loop end of the rod to pull the lever down. Take the other end of the rod and insert it into the black strap that should be barely hanging down and pull down as you back away. This should pull the awning out. Once pulled out all the way, go to each end of the awning. Close to the wall of the RV there should be an arm hanging down with a knob on the back of it. Grab the bottom of the arm and slide it out and clip it into the end of the extended awning arm. Push down on the lower arm to tighten the fabric and then tighten the knob. Once both ends have been tightened then on the lower arm there will be a pull out handle in the middle, pull it out to release the lock pin and lift the outer portion of the lower arm up to raise the awning to the desired height. Repeat for the other end. If it is raining or windy put the awning away. DO NOT LEAVE IT OUT! The wind will catch it like a kite and rip it off of your trailer. Rain will fill it up like a swimming pool and collapse the center tube and trap you inside of the RV.
I would syphon out the water and tighten the awning. If the fabric has stretched too much from the sagging, you may need to add a stabilizer or replace it.
