I normally don't tie mine down when I set up my campsite but if the winds kick up and I see my awning starting to move I'll secure it.

On the suggestion of another MOC member I went to Tractor Supply and bought a 4'X 6' rubber horse stall mat and cut it into 12" X 12" squares and use them under my stabilizers and jacks as needed. They've worked good for me so far. It's a heavy rubber mat 3/4" thick so it's a little hard to cut through. They won't crack or get water soaked if it rains and they are sitting in a puddle. They are easy to store.
