I rebent the end of my awning rod so it is about 4 inches long.
Then after sticking the 4 inch section into the awning end I secure the rod to the arm with a cable tie. The awning rod is not going to come out.
As for the awning lock it is possible for the latch to be knocked to the open position as you are leaving a campground and have a tree limb knock it open. Plus they must also fail as I have even seen an awning on the side of the road and have two friends who have lost awnings in this manner.
