Pics ???????
They work well from what Ive seen but they would want to for the price of the things, I use a tent rope with spring, spliced a large eye in end to loop around awning barrel and just whack a long peg in the ground at the appropriate angle with anti flappers on the awning, if camped for a long time and it gets windy I will use the big anti flap rails for the awning........now they are expensive suckers, van came with them and will stay with me when I sell the rig, if that ever happens.....
Wind and awnings is something that comes with experience as to when to pack away, leave it too late and better to throw some hold down ropes over than end up with it wrapped over the van, practice the best sequence to fold away so its instinctive, first thing I do is drop the legs down, then the top arms, hold the strap and hit the lever, that way the upper arms/awning has tension till the last minute, handy when it gets windy..... and always check the screw in before you drive away.....I fit a velcro strap around the upper part of the arms so if it does get loose for some reason they are held in and it doesn't become a wing. Has only happened once and they saved the day, I had a suspicion some funny bugga in a town loosened the hold downs as a joke of course...... the catches and lock screws forgotten to be done up by me, I think not.
Have seen folk using dinky little pegs which are more like a bit of bent fencing wire.............lol.......
