Just how good are fiamma storm straps at holding canopies. Down in this horrendous wind.??

I am aware of the danger,bur unfortunately I left my awning/canopy out yesterday and now too afraid to try and wind it in if I release the storm straps I will have no control whatsoever.

Indeed there is an electric awning, made by the opposition, that actually winds itself in in a higher than recommended wind.
I had a Fiamma awning on my last motorhome, and I used
tie-downs all the time, whatever the weather.
Another Fiamma accessory which is a very useful is the 'foot pad kit' which consists of heavy duty plastic plates which fit over the feet of the awning legs and anchor them firmly to the ground. I think I paid less than a tenner for them.

I'm no good at posting links, but on the Fiamma website they are described as 'Fiammastor Kit Awning Plates', product code 29204NOVA, priced at £9.75 including pegs. There are pictures and a video if interested.

Thanks for the link,and yes I do have a pair and they are on the legs,.so I am,well strapped down.and bonus wind has backed a little,just smaller less,harsh gusts about 38kph instead of 50kph.so fingers crossed.and once again thanks for all the advice funsters...RoyThanks for this. Just ordered a set. Must emphasise that awnings should be taken down in strong winds but hope that they will provide some additional security if the winds do get up a bit unexpectedly.
