They are not cheap, but can probably be found elsewhere -
Carefree 902821BLK-U White RV Awning Support
Too much stuff to spend our $$ on -
Wow, those are most definitely not cheap. Seems way overpriced for what it is.
Yeowza, they sure are! I use 2 painters poles and a squeegee holder to do the same. It doe need to be anchored somehow because it occasionally falls to the side if the wind lifts the awning a little.

This might be the best way to keep the corners down. I have used the Carefree poles and had them anchored tightly at 45* as directed Wind gusts lifted the corners just enough to cause the pole to dangle for an instant and not settle in the same place.
