I put it out, carport it, (legs / arms, on the ground) and tie it down, when I setup camp. I roll it up when we leave. It is there to keep rain, and sun off of me, and the outside stuff. If I can't use it for that, it is no good to me.
Why Do I carport? It makes the awning much more stable, and able to withstand much more wind. It also keeps the awning from jerking the trailer around. When the supports are anchored to the side of the RV, They act like a lever, and cause the entire RV to sway with the wind. Making you think the awning is takeing more of a beating than it is.
In the carport position. The supports are sitting on solid ground, and have no effect on the RV.
I pretty sure the TT awning can handel as much wind as my popup campers, and their awnings did over the years. And they took alot.
