Vintage Trailer Awning Tie Down Line Set-Up and Other Items

Pictured are some of the items that I use while camping, that I am frequently asked about.
Name Badge Clips for hanging vintage string lights onto the valances of a vintage trailer awning.

A pulley and spring on tie-down lines to a vintage trailer awning are recommended when camping in windy weather.

A pulley and eye bolt for pulling an awning along the c-channel awning rail

 Pulley and Eye Bolt System

 
A c-channel awning rail with a 3/8" diameter opening on the end


Heavy Duty Coleman Steel tent stake with a spring and pulley for tie-down lines for a vintage trailer awning set up.

Rope tension adjuster

I clamp this device onto the fabric covered pull cords, butting up to the awning rail, when the awning is centered on the awning rail. It prevents the awning from pulling toward you, when staking out your first tie down line. It also keeps a strong wind from sliding or moving the awning off center during a storm. (It should also clamp onto the ends of an awning with a vinyl welt instead of the fabric covered pull cord)
