We have a seasonal site and open our awning in March and close it in November. In between, we tilt it and use a single bungee hooked to one of two hooks I have installed on the deck - a "windy weather" position and a "we're leaving for the week" position. Before we started doing the bungees, we did lose an awning arm (awning flipped up on the roof) as we just tilted it for rain before we left and the awning fabric in an unexpected overnight rainstorm while we were there (the awning was fully deployed, no tilt). We're in our 7th year with this camper and 5th or 6th year with no (knock on wood) awning issues.
