Like many other RV topics, the answer usually is more of a personal preference than specific information. For instance, I tend to get a little "paranoid" about my awning. When we first started camping we would hang lights on it etc. but a middle-of-the night thunderstorm changed my mind about leaving it open. Going outside in your BVD's after midnight is the kind of excitement I can do without. Now I bring in the awning anytime we leave the campsite, and usually at night unless there is no chance of wind or storms. As far as wind speed, I just keep an eye on it and if it starts flopping around too much I bring it in. In my case probably anything over 20MPH would be enough to roll it up. Others tie their awnings down with all kinds of contraptions but I would rather not worry about it and just bring it in until things calm down. Again, personal preference and comfort level which varies from one person to another.
