Two telescoping vertical support legs are stowed in the lead rail of the awning.  
These can be used to provide increased stability. 

 

CAUTION

  The ground support legs do offer increased stability but do not 

compensate for harsh weather conditions such as wind and/or heavy rain.  
During inclement weather, retract and secure the awning in the travel position.
