Awning question
Was wondering when you leave your campsite for the day to go visit the sites do you leave your awning up or leave it down?

We anchor our awning to the ground with tie downs and keep it tipped slighty into the windy side.
We have never taken our awning down when we leave camp for the day. We have been through two major storms (caused widespread flooding with news coverage) last year and no problems.
It seems odd to us that people would willingly put up and take down their awnings every day or even multiple times per day.
But it's a personal choice for each. I understand the reasoning, we just do not subscribe to it.
I was in the stake it down camp and religiously secured my awning, however the newer RV's have electric awnings. Securing the flimsy electric awnings are a bit of a challenge,but rolling it in is a easy as pressing a button.
Sadly I am now a button presser and bring my in and out quite frequently.
While I still prefer the durability and sturdiness of the manual awning, the electric is not as bad as I anticipated. But I had to change my leave it out mindset to use it successfully
