As we\u2019ve noted extensively here at Caravan Helper, awnings are one of those accessories that no caravan outfit should be without. They help increase the covered floorspace you have access to. As well as providing welcome shade from the hot sun on those days in summer when we do get a reasonably high temperature in the UK, they also provide welcome cover and waterproof protection against the rain. They can be used to hang wet clothes in or as somewhere for wet animals, kids and adults to stop before heading into your tourer. They are even perfect as an extra storage room, bedroom or even for alfresco dining.<\/p>\n

Although they do provide a lot of protection against the elements and most models generally come with all the necessary straps and pegs for securing them in place, there are times when the winds are too blustery and even the best awning can succumb.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t necessarily have to be that way though, as many companies have designed an additional layer of protection and stability for awnings<\/a> called an awning tie down kit. Other names you may find this kind of product retailing as include awning straps and awning storm straps. Basically, these are kits that help to reinforce your awning, to ensure it stays put and doesn\u2019t get blown off or damaged in high winds and storms.<\/p>\n

There are several different kits available, so to make it easier for you to find a suitable one, we\u2019ve highlighted four below.<\/p>\n
