Thoughts: I'm never in favor of strapping down any awning. For me, it's an extra step that slows down the roll up process in case of a sudden storm or gust of wind.
Have seen a number of awnings destroyed and RV's damaged when a "strapped down" awning rips off the side wall.
If it's too windy to leave out naturally, it comes in.
I was sitting outside my RV last summer in Charlotte , just finished setting up everything but the awnings..
Within the next few minutes , we had a HUGE straight line wind gust come and take out probably 3 awnings around the CG.. I bet we had 2 minute warning at that... No way you would have had time to un-secure any awning..
