Slide Out Awning Bellows in the Wind while Driving

My large slide out awning bellows loose when in high winds while driving, do slide out awnings have a lock so this won't happen, appears now my fabric is ripped but don't want to replace till the problem is fixed.

When I extend my slide out and retract it the awning does go in tight but seems to unroll in high winds.

  • Mine has a stop on one end of the roll that hits against the another stop on the outside wall when closed to prevent that. Might be missing or need adjusting.
  • If this is a new problem, perhaps one of your retraction springs has broken. I had one break and the awning would still retract but would just not be as tight as it was with two good springs.
