Stop electric Awning Rattle

Our last trailer had a manual awning that worked fine and you could firmly "strap down" to help resist moderate breezes. Our present trailer came with an electric awning, which is handy, but rattles in the wind much more, even if you strap it down. This is pretty loud, especially from inside the trailer, and even freaks out one of the dogs a bit.

Our model does not have the auto retract feature.

I fooled around a bit with a bungee cord, and figured out that a cord from the horizontal arm to the top where the shock adsorber is connected really tightens things up and helps resist the banging. I think if I do a more permanent installation with hog rings instead if the standard hooks, it will fold up inside the brackets when it is reteacted.
