We hate flopping awnings, too, so here's what we did.
First, we pull down firmly on each end of the awning about where you attach those hand weights and then tighten really hard on the black knob about halfway up the upper arm so it stays extended as far as possible and creates a rigid triangle with the lower arm and the body of the trailer.
Then, to keep the awning fabric from flopping in the wind we got a couple of those Camco Awning De-Flapper Max - 2 Pack (42251). $18 at Amazon.

Those two things make a LOT of difference for us. But if you want to take one more step, Camco also makes a 42593 Awning Anchor Kit with Pull Tension Strap.
