Stiles, not sure that the "can't be tied down" statement is universal. We always tie ours down, and now for the usual statement "we do it, it may not be correct, but it works for us!" I will agree that if the electric awning has the wind sensor installed (ours does not) that it should never be tied down then. The primary reason we tie ours down is we still hang the garishly bright awning lights from the roller tube and also have a sunshade that is sometimes attached as well. In this circumstance, retracting and extending becomes a laborious process for me!! As always, this is presented as my opinion based on what we do with ours, it may be applicable for others.
