If we're driving in windy conditions, we use small bungie cords around the awning and slideout toppers. Works for us.
How do you wrap the bungee cords around the fabric to keep the wind from unrolling it from the roller? Wrapping them around the arms does not work.

For my slideout toppers, I hook the bungies to the little "sticky-up bit" you can see in the image below, and wrap it around the fabric.

The little sticky up thing is an anti billow arm. If the wind tries to unfurl the slide topper it turns against a strike plate on the side of the RV and prevents it. If installed correctly it will make the bungee cord unnecessary. When the topper extends normally the arm just misses hitting the strike plate.
