Keep your RV awning hold-down strap anchored firmly to the ground with the Camco 42522 awning stake. Built from durable steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, this 15-inch tent-style stake drives deep enough to hold your awning strap secure in grass, packed dirt, and typical campground terrain. Sold individually so you can replace a single lost or bent stake without buying a full kit.
An unsecured awning strap is one of the most common causes of awning damage on the road. Wind gusts can lift or flap an awning violently when the hold-down strap isn't pinned to the ground -- leading to bent arms, torn fabric, or worse. The Camco 42522 is a straightforward, no-fuss solution that most RVers keep a few spares of in their tool kit.
The tent-stake profile is proven in campground conditions. The pointed tip drives cleanly with a mallet, and the angled head gives you a secure anchor point for the awning strap hook or loop. At 15 inches, there is enough shank length to stay put in moderately soft ground without requiring any special tools.
Corrosion-resistant zinc plating helps the stake hold up through seasons of outdoor use, rain, and ground contact.
Long enough to anchor securely in grass and packed campground dirt without driving flush to the surface.
Classic pointed design drives easily with a rubber mallet or hammer and stays anchored under lateral strap tension.
Buy exactly the quantity you need -- replace a single lost or bent stake without purchasing a multipack.
This stake is designed to work with standard RV awning hold-down straps and hooks. The head profile accepts typical strap hook styles used by most RV awning manufacturers.
If your setup requires an awning spring stake, that is a separate item. See Camco part 42532 (available at RV Upgrade Store under SKU 25-8513) for the spring stake version.
This stake is designed for standard awning hold-down use in normal camping conditions. In high-wind conditions, retract your awning fully rather than relying on ground stakes alone. Do not use as a structural anchor for large event canopies or other applications beyond its intended purpose.
