My MH has sit in Florida 7 months every year for the last 15 years.
With the awning out 24/7 tied down.
Only 2 times I have put it up was when Wilma and one other hurricane was coming this way. Wilma made it here the other one didn't.
There is less chance of getting high winds after the sun goes down in FL then in the daytime. If a big gust comes up, no one is fast enough to get their awning up even if they are inside the RV.
A few years ago I had a awning go onto the roof with braces and all while in Indiana.
It wasn't tied down at the time. And a real strong gust come through without warning while I was inside the MH having breakfast around 8AM.
Before the gust, the air was calm with maybe 5 MPH wind. No dark clouds anywhere in the area.
OH!! I had Camping World awning insurance on it.
They replaced it with a new one with no out of pocket $$$$ for me.
CW also replaced a window awning Wilma took off even though it was rolled up.
