Tie down Electric Awning
Hi..Can I tie down my electric awning? I don't have the auto retract feature. We always tied downed our manual awning for extra protection.

All awnings are fragle, even the manual ones.
Friend of mine left his manual awning out. Gust of wind came up. Tore it off.
NO awning can withstand wind gusts, and gully washer, frog strangler rains don't help them either.
An awning is only good for shade in good weather, or during light showers that have no wind.
If the truth be known, I'd rather be without an awning than a lot of other things on my RV.

I find that an electric awning is pretty much a useless accessory. Even if you tie it down, the supports are not sturdy and may be damaged. When the weather turns foul that is when you need an awning but it is time to roll up the fragile electric awning.
