When we had a manual awning on the smaller trailer we put C-champs on the outer edge of the patio slab with a board with bolts sticking up. Moved the legs out to the bolts and then used ratchet straps to pull the roller tube down tight. Bungee cords from the bottom of the sun shade to re-bars driven into the ground. Now if the wind was going to be over 10-12 MPH is all got rolled up and put away.
With the power awnings on the Bighorn we bungee'd the sun shades to the the re-bars. Again if wind was predicted to be over 10-12, it was time to take it in.
