My previous camper was a Forest River product. One of the guys on that forum stamps out the brackets that mount at the top of the awning to hold the poles and also gives you a loop for the tie down.
the poles are just 2 different diameter conduit with a pin for setting the height.

If I'm not violating any rules here, I will get more info posted in this thread?

Regarding your awning lights you may want to consider the LEDs that stick on. I have mine attached to my TT just under the awning when it is rolled up. This way I don't have to worry about taking down lights in a storm.

I see no need to tie the electric awning down. Stationary ones yes. They will dump water on their own and the struts are designed to give with the awning arms moving up and down in normal to extreme wind. I think anchoring them down defeats the design purpose. When your awning is open push very hard upward on the roll or pull down hard and abrupt. It'll take the tugs just fine. If the awning is tied down this prevents the awning from flexing up and down with the wind. Thus weakening, or in a heavy enough wind causing it to tear. The only time I've tighten the locking screws is in a heavy rain. Otherwise the awning will dump lift dump lift over and over. Locking one side down in the rain will simply cause the rain to run off.
