I can't take credit for this as I saw it posted elsewhere but it's one of the best tips I've come across. Awnings and poles are usually difficult to get back into their orignal bags when packing away. What we do is put the poles in the awning bag and put the awning in an old sleeping bag. Simply lay the unzipped sleeping bag out on the ground, put the loosely rolled up awning on top of it and zip it up. No more having to roll the awning up tighter than a Yorkshireman. Saved me hours in time and gallons of sweat.
