Is there a special tie down for this style awning?

Thanks!

Jody,

Who is the manufacturer and model of your awning (you should have a manual providing this info)? If it is a variation of the Carefree Travel'r awning Carefree makes a wind sensor system that will automatically retract the awning in high winds. It is the Direct Response system.
