Solera Awnbrella

Has anyone used this Product? It's made by Lippert and is supposed to stop power awning from flapping. Supposed to be good for those extended stays when you don't to be rolling and unrolling your awning each time it gets windy.

Awning poles are really the only way to fly....Don't need to retract when up to 30 mph winds blow

I am looking for something that will stop the awning fabric from flapping. I use ratchet tie downs to keep the arms from blowing upwards in windy conditions but that does not do anything to stop the flapping.

Maybe I'm missing something but I fail to see how those keep the awning fabric from flapping?
