do you leave your awnings out?

We leave ours out at night, and during rains (ours auto-dumps water). Also leave it out when leaving if only for an hour or so, unless bad weather is threatening. We don't tie it down, either. However, the campground we always go to does not have any history of damaging winds and sites are very protected by a lot of trees. If we camp somewhere else, I might reel it in more.

I believe the weather patterns where one camps is the biggest factor.
