What do you tie your awnings down with?
I am looking for a simple way of tieing my awning down so the wind won't take it. Any suggestions??? Thanks

I use ratchet straps from the top of the awning tube back down to the TT frame. The awning arm holds the awning up, and the ratchet straps holt from blowing too far up. The advantage, that I've found, is that if there is a little bit of movement in the TT, my awning isn't tied (immobile) to the ground. The awning moves with the TT.
I've seen a few (3 or 4) extended awnings blow-over the top of the TT over the years, and I've seen one common denominator: The awning arm attachment , low on the TT side, failed, stripping the screws out of the TT side. The ratchet straps prevent this.....
