We have a Kampa air awning which had a tube blow after 2 weeks and 2 days use. Kampa weren’t interested but our supplier returned it for inspection. We have photos to show the air tube was attached to the awning itself. Kampa said this is impossible. Reading Kampa reviews online it looks like we aren’t the only ones to have trouble. Has anyone else had this sort of experience? We are heading to Trading Standards with this.

The small porch awning we had also had guy ropes. I can't see how you can NOT use any as the awning would then be free to be lifted up by any wind that got inside it.

We have pegged out on the green strip before now ....

I have always in 35 years of caravaning used isabella poled awnings and never used guy ropes. I have only once used the storm straps which fit to the poles. That was this August on the Isle of Wight when the wind got to 60mph, I did it to be on the safe side
