Since we do not have a newer Monte(2004) and we do not have an electric awning, we use tie downs for the awning(somewhat). What we use is either a five gallon bucket on each end of the awning with a 6 foot bungie cord attached to the awning at the shaft on each end and onto the handle of the bucket. We fill the buckets about 3/4 full of water. OR we use three or four gallon milk jugs filled with water attached to the bungie cord on the ground end. If the wind comes up some the bungie cord stretches and holds the awning in place. We do this unless the winds come up relatively strong then the bungie is disconnected from the awning end and the awning is rolled up. We never leave the awning out when we leave for any time.
