If you are interested in getting a Carefree Outback awnning- I think they come with them. If you just want to be able to level your ramp door for more usable space-I just made my own. Your local hardware store should have all that you need to make your own. That's what I did. I got all my parts at Home Depot for maybe $40 or so. 2 pieces of cable, 8 cable clamps, 2 turnbuckles, 2 eylets and some nuts and bolts. Its actually pretty simple-it should only take a couple of hours from shopping to completion.

Like dunerfool said, I made my own for about the same price. If you send a PM with an e-mail address I'll send photos.

i used a 5 gal bucket and pieces of 2x4's underneath my ramp to level it to begin fitment of the cables

I used chain. Just seems easier to handle, store, and won't stretch. Plus, you can get the lengths exactly the same on each side.
After building the supports, we bought the Outback Awning and Screenroom and it did come with cables and turnbuckles.

I bet tie down straps would work. They're adjustable so it would be easy to get level. I'm not sure if they would be long enough.
