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 have always put up my awning at the 1st sign of a wind. Hubby does it before the wind starts to blow. If he knows a storm is coming the awning goes up. However last summer while putting up the awning (no wind!)the bottom of the awning brackets tore loose from the TT leaving the awning useless, and we had to take TT in for repair. Now we are afraid to put the awning out for fear of it coming loose again. That is the reason for asking about better protection for the awning. We want every precaution to keep the awning from coming loose from the TT again in the future.
It sounds like bungie cords and ratchet and doggie tie outs are what most are using. I searched E-Bay, Camping world, and other places but not seeing a complete set up that looks sturdy.
I appreciate all the replies. Just thinking there was a reason my awning tore off at the bottom and wanting that to never happen again. I am looking for safety measures to keep it from happening ever again.
