An awning drive assembly with a motor internal to an awning roll-up tube and/or the awning using the awning drive assembly. A transmission linkage is attached to a motor assembly which is at least partially inserted into the roll-up tube of the awning. The transmission linkage is a disk connected to a motor shaft and the disk has notches which engage corresponding projections within the roll-up tube, allowing the motor to deploy and retract the awning. The awning drive assembly also has a mechanism for releasably connecting the motor assembly to a support arm mounting assembly. When the means for releasably connecting is released, a spring retracts the awning, even when the motor is not operable.
