We just received ours the other day. We won't have a chance to try them out until we get the TT home next weekend (plans change unexpectedly).
Has anyone considered another style of stake for loose or sandy soils? The stakes that came with it look robust enough for most settled soils, maybe not for unconsolidated soils.

Living in KS - wind is our friend/enemy - but I found the spiral stakes work well in most soil types - I picked this kit up off of Amazon -

Camco 42593 Awning Anchor Kit with Pull Tension Strap

The one think I found with the springs, they will allow the awning to lift the poles off the ground slightly in strong winds, but not enough to allow the awning to be damaged. The springs are not required and the spiral anchor can be picked up at Walmart in the pet department...

There are curved rafters that are used by camp hosts for extended stay -

They are not cheap, but can probably be found elsewhere -
