Pickup a pair of "awning deflappers", these are clips that attach to the awning and then velcro around the awning braces. Helps to keep the awning under control in windy conditions. Too much wind, don't put the awning out at all.

Even just driving around town doing errands, try very hard to not use the windshield rearview mirror, just the side mirrors. Learn what they show you. Get used to backing up without looking over your shoulder, just use the mirrors.
