We just got our 08 Eagle 322FKS a couple of weeks ago. It has the Carefree electric awning. It does not automatically roll up when raining and it can be tied down. We bought the Roll-em-up tie downs as well as the straps to use for hanging the party lights. We had the awning out all weekend at the beach where there was a steady wind. No problems whatsoever. It was a breeze to take the lights down and the straps just roll up with the awning. We did put the awning in last night since they called for storms and enjoyed how easy it was. Also it does not automatically dump water if it builds up but it is easy to just roll it up to get rid of the water.

If the awning does not have the shocks in the arms to dump the water when it needs to then it's not a steep pitch version.

Also, where exactly did you read that it's OK to tie it down?
