A lateral arm actuator for an extendable awning includes a gas spring with a cylinder and a rod that is displaceable relative to the cylinder, a fitting disposed at a distal end of the rod, and an awning knuckle including a first connector coupled to a cylinder end of the gas spring, a second connector, and a pivot coupled between the first and second connectors. The second connector is pivotable relative to the first connector, and the second connector includes a hook. A cable formed into a continuous loop is positioned over the fitting, along the gas spring, and across the awning knuckle engaging the hook. An extendable awning assembly also incorporates the lateral arm actuator to extend and retract the awning via a motorized roller.
