Hi N&K We have just been out all weekend with our awing as we have a dog and that is his main area for sleeping etc.
Whilst we didnt fully tie down our awning, just a peg in the feet and some around the skirts, it withstood a lot of wind and flapping around. Yes it came away from the roof section but that was caused by my inneficiency in not making it secure in the first place.
The zippers remained closed at all times despite there being a lot of wind trying its best to undo them. We set up our awning in the lee of the van but the wind still managed to change direction on us and gave us some concern.
As far as we are concerned we are extreemly happy with our awning and once we have learnt to tie it down properly then im sure we would not experience some of the flapping we heard during the night.
