Check out Albany nomads jayco. Do a search on this site. He had a good way of solving that problem.

Hi there, if you roll up the poles with it so they extend all the way across, it stops this from happening.

I've also got three straps but found they still bent up prior to rolling up with the poles.

i had an eyelet placed in the corners and secure a rope through the eyelet to the grab handles on the ct -  works fine

Got a similar problem with our Dove Outback with the front bag end awning getting blown up while travelling and acting like a parachute, the three straps don't stop the wind from lifting it. Have thought about strapping it down as it has to have some effect on the fuel economy. No poles in ours so not sure how it would go.

Same problem I had with mine, and 5 years on there still the same. Ho hum!
I took mine to our local authorised Jayco repairer and he said leave it with me, I replace these (under warranty) all the time.
Below is what he did and problem solved.

Yep had the same problem with our ob swan, it always peeved me off.

Solved the issue by getting rid of the camper ;D
