Awning straps
I am sure it has been discussed already but the search didn't work for me. When I was in Texas recently I noticed some people had run a strap from the awning ends to the under side of their trailer...

Ours is not a power awning for that reason. Whenever it is extended, usually it is strapped down to ground stakes. Lots cheaper than replacing one. We really like to have it out to shade the side on the RV. Keeps it a lot cooler. And we like to sit outside in the evening with it out. On rainy days, we can get in and out of the door a lot dryer also. Moderate winds do not cause any problems, but if high winds are predicted, we bring it in anyway. Straps have hooks on the ends, so they are no trouble to detach as the awning is brought down.
