Also please be careful where you attach the lead on the RV.
We were hosting at a state park and enjoying our morning coffee when we heard a loud crash, and someone calling a dog.
Running over to the site we found the owner holding his Great Dane that he had tied to the awing arm. The dog saw a squirrel and took off after it. The awning arm didn't stop him! The awning arm ripped off the RV and the whole awning also twisted in the general direction of the squirrel.
As we helped the camper clean up, at least, he wasn't mad at the dog. He just kept muttering "Dumb dog."
I could not help but think who tied him to the awning arm in the first place?
