A few years ago, we had our awning come unfurled and billowed like a sail in heavy winds at 60mph.
I saw that happen to a Class C in front of me on I-40 right at the TX-NM border. It's hilly there and I think a headwind added to the road speed of the RV. I wanted to stop and help but we had a baby on board and the consensus was to keep right on going.
A tip I learned here: Put the Awning Rod in the rear groove of the awning roller and bungee it to the arm. The issue is NOT the Arms coming away from the sides of the Coach; It's the Roller coming Un-Locked. Then the slipstream gets under the first roll of the awning and unfurls it like a parachute with a pilot chute.
