Securing Rv Awning In Windy Area

A little extra security is a good idea in areas that are prone to high winds.

Securing rv awning in windy area.

If you live in an area with considerable wind then we highly recommend either a metal awning which can withstand wind of 80 mph. We really thought we would use our rv awning all the time but the truth is we barely ever have it out. There are two primary types of fabric awnings which are loose frame retractable awnings and permanently closed frame awnings. Secure the caravan awning carefully before hitting the road.

Another good device is an rv awning clamp that secures the rolled up portion of the awning to your rv. We use ratchet straps to tie our caravan awning. Most rvs come with an awning already attached. We use ratchet straps to tie our caravan awning down on windy days.

But if you have a manual awning you ll want to pay extra attention to rolling it up in bad weather to avoid hundreds or even thousands in repair costs. You would not want it hanging loosely on the side of the caravan. With proper care if you follow the instructions that came with your rv awning you can expect it to last many years. We have created a full guide to metal awnings here or get a motorized retractable awnings.

But when we do we use this trick to keep it secure.
