We do not have the auto awning --- its the older pull out and down, manual awning which probably lends itself more to tie-downs than the automatic ones. You can buy tie-downs and anchors from CW or any other RV retailer.

For tie-downs, I have made my own........
On mine, I have a container of pre-measured and pre-cut nylon line, some 12 inch galvanized spikes (with washer at the top) and some rubber inner tube "rings". I use the rings to give the lines some "give and take" when they are tied to the awning and to the anchors.
I have taken some bright, neon spray paint and coated the top of my anchors so that they are visible -- it helps prevent people from tripping over them and are not as likely to be left behind when packing up.

For securing the automatic awning, you might need to have some other type of anchoring system as they are not constructed the same way as the manual ones. You might get some feedback from those who have the auto awnings about the best way to anchor those.
