I don't use springs or bungee. I simply use the ratchet tie downs to secure ours when out. We have wind constantly here on the coast. A lot has to do with the direction in which your rig is parked. Most of our summer winds are from the south, or southeast, and the back of the fiver is towards the east. That blocks the wind off the awning. I have a neighbor that is here for four months. He has his awning out, with a sun screen, tied down with auger type anchors using the ratchet straps with springs. He will go off for days at a time and leave the awning out; I'm simply not that brave.
