Awning tie down ropes
Do you use awning tie down ropes with the newer electric awnings? What are the pros and cons?

I wouldn't restrict it with tie downs. Even heard of a disaster with tie downs on manual awnings. If its too windy, put it away. Heard a sad story after insurance wouldn't pay and it was tied down. Or wouldn't pay because it was tied down. Even the dealers wont endorse tying them down but will sell you the hardware to do it. If the awning billows and its tied down ,something, somewhere has to give, it would seem that the weak spot is now at the track where the awning attaches to the RV.
