Awning security
A better way for large awnings RV Innovations awning clamp
Forum Discussion
I have indeed had an awning start to unfurl while driving in high winds. Not only did we almost lose the awning, but it was a royal PITA to get re-rolled while sitting in that same wind; almost impossible with just my wife & I since it had to be partially unrolled and then re-rolled to get it straight. In 40-50mph gusting wind! After that incident (first trip with our current RV), I fabricated my own, nearly identical clamp, installed near the front of the awning.
Downside to mine is that the latch is on top, meaning I must go on the roof to secure/unsecure it (no, the twig is not part of the latch :)). But, it's a small price to pay for the peace of mind. My awning will NEVER come loose while driving, no matter the wind.
