We just spent the winter in Yuma and had our awning out the whole time. Had deflappers and it was anchored down well. Also had a "wind screen" attached. We survived some pretty windy conditions, none the worse for wear. The only problem we had was the tie down straps rotted in the sun, went through 2 sets. In Alberta we only use the awning occaisionally as we get some pretty high winds there. If you have one, you can always use it, if you don't have one, there will probably be situations when you wish you did have it!
