Yes, looks simple, so nothing to break down, which is good. Never saw one like that. How much of a hassle to get the awning hook tool into get "S" hook from ground or do you use ladder?

After reading link...Just went outside and looked at rv trying to get better mental pic of forces at work.

I see how this would help prevent awning maybe bouncing up and down to prevent unfurling.

But(and maybe I'm missing something) shouldn't there also be tension to keep awning against rv?

(I'll try to explain better) Tension could be created if you were to place the pic holder (D ring) between rv and awning; so that tension created was not only downward (prevent bouncing off) but also place tension in opposite direction of awning unfurling?
