Peggy Peg® explains: The right anchoring system for every camping situation
Anyone who regularly travels with a motorhome, caravan or tent knows the challenges of different ground conditions. But it's not just the right screw peg that ensures a secure attachment. With clever solutions such as Peg&Stop, Fix&Go, AntiFlap or Tie Strap, Peggy Peg® offers a complete system for awnings, tent extensions and numerous other applications around the campsite.
In this article, we introduce the most important Peggy Peg® products and show for which ground and purpose they were developed.

Fix&Go 2.0 – The innovative anchor plate for more stability for your awning
With the Fix&Go 2.0 anchor plate, Peggy Peg® offers a unique solution for securely attaching awning legs. The sophisticated system ensures greater stability, comfort, and safety on almost any surface.
The anchor plate was specially developed to reliably secure awning legs and prevent them from sinking into soft ground. At the same time, it reduces movement caused by wind and helps to protect the awning and accessories in the long term.
Especially practical for everyday camping: The Fix&Go 2.0 can be assembled quickly and easily. The anchor plate can remain permanently on the pitch, while the awning can be extended or retracted or dismantled at any time. Re-attaching the plate is not necessary. The striking colors orange and blue also increase visibility and help to avoid trip hazards and forgotten parts during dismantling.
As part of the Peggy Peg® system, the Fix&Go 2.0 is fully compatible with the Peg&Stop screw pegs and other Peggy Peg® fastening solutions. This creates a flexible and expandable system that can be optimally adapted to different ground conditions and areas of application.

More clever applications in the Peggy Peg® System

The system includes numerous well-designed accessory solutions that make everyday camping more comfortable and create additional uses around motorhomes, caravans, awnings, and annexes. Thanks to their high compatibility, the various components can be flexibly combined and individually adapted to the respective situation.
Tie Strap 2.0 – Additional Stability in Wind
Strong gusts of wind can put considerable strain on awnings and annexes. The Tie Strap 2.0 system was developed to safely dissipate these forces and increase the stability of your installation.
The wide tension straps distribute the load evenly and help reduce movement of the awning. In combination with Peggy Peg® screw-in pegs, a particularly secure fastening solution for challenging weather conditions is created.
Ideal for:
- Awnings
- Annexes
- Gazebos
- Wind-prone pitches
Fix&Go AntiFlap – Less flapping, more comfort
Flapping awning fabrics can not only be annoying but also strain the material in the long run. The Fix&Go AntiFlap system reliably secures the awning fabric and reduces movement caused by wind.
This minimizes noise and at the same time extends the lifespan of the awning. Especially during longer stays or changeable weather conditions, the system provides additional comfort.
Ideal for:
- Awnings on motorhomes and caravans
- Windy campsites
- Permanent awning installations
One system – many possibilities
What makes Peggy Peg® special is its consistent system concept. Pegs, anchor plates, tensioning systems, and accessories are coordinated and can be flexibly combined. This creates a suitable solution for almost any camping situation – from secure awning fastening to additional sun and wind protection, and practical everyday helpers at the campsite.
