Personally, I don't like the anchor kits. If the wind is an issue then I don't want my awning out. I've seen fabric torn or awnings blown over the top of the trailer. Fortunately, it's never happened to us but I've learned by watching others deal with the damage. Our friends and our son both lost awnings to the wind. When it's windy, you never know when that one gust will wreak havoc of the awning. I can see that having awning anchors could help protect the hardware but the fabric could still be at risk...and maybe more so if the awning arms can't move. I like having an awning out but if the wind starts to kick it around then I bring it in. YMMV.

I only have one awning but I would tilt both to shed rain or block sun. If my awning is out...it's tilted.
