What do you tie your awnings down with?

We are seasonal campers, and never retract our awning. I unhooked the support arms and anchored them to the ground as well as used ratchet straps from the roller tube to the ground anchors. When I left for the week, I would lower the legs so the awning had a steep pitch.
Neighbor has been doing the same for 10+ yrs, and never lost a awning.

This spring, DW and I got a new camper, and it has a power awning...I hate this awning. anyone want to buy a 1 month old 21' power awning?.. I want a manual awning that I can leave out and anchor.
