Carefree Awnings

The other week we went on a trip, and I wasn't all that happy with the rear post of our awning security wise, so I just wrapped a bungee coed around it as extra. When we got to our spot, our friends rolled in, and looking at his awning, I saw he had extra Velcro straps on both posts. I am wondering if anyone else...
