I should also mention that the longer rope for non-awning conditions shares the weld nut with the shorter rope. We simply grab the rope we want to use.
Since then, I installed another weld nut lower on the door jamb opposite the door opening, to hang the bungie cords I use to hold the door open. This way everything is stored right where it is needed.
One last point here. The longer rope does double duty as a quick dry cloths line inside the rig. If we have wet beach towels, a wet jacket, an item needing drying before stowing away, one of us will grab the longer rope and hang it on a cabinet knob on the other side of the entry door. Yes the hanging item(s) is sometime in our way entering and exiting, but it's very temporary. It is better to have it inconvenient, than not at all. Again it is quick to hook, and when done, unhook & let go, and it drops back hanging next to the door, so simple to use and put away.
