Hammer the Stake into the ground directly under the outside corner of your RV awning arms ... just like I did in my video.
Tighten the tension of the awning rafter arm.
Hang the Bungee over the corner of the awning structure (see photo above).
Cut the 1/8-Inch Nylon Rope to the appropriate size (our awning required about 10 feet). Then tie one end of the rope to the carabiner clip. Now take the other end of the rope and run it through the two holes in the LARGE camring and then tie a knot at the end. NOTE: If you tie the knot in the end of the rope before you string it through the LARGE camring, you won't get it through the camring holes.
Hang the Carabiner Clip from the bungee hooks and just let the rope hang down toward the stake.
Run the knotted end of the rope through the stake. NOTE: The knot (you did this in step 4) eventually holds the rope in place in the camring notch.
Run the rope through the notch in the LARGE CamRing Tent Cord Tensioner.
With a slight amount of pressure, pull down on the carabiner clip to tighten bungee while adjusting the LARGE camring (up or down) to remove slack from the cord.
Repeat steps on the other end of the awning.
Always remove your tie down and retract your awning when you are away from your rig.
