Here's my thoughts... not that I have any experience of caravans, seasonal or otherwise... or running a camp site, for that matter... so feel free to take this with a pinch of salt...
How about the campsite owner offers to help/sort out any errant awnings, in your absence, and to the best of his ability, with certain stipulations regarding him not being responsible for any damage, of course, but all for an agreed hourly rate, with maybe a set "out of hours" charge on top, where applicable. Maybe on a pre-signed contract?
You, the caravan owner, have the choice of opting into this "service", or opting out, effectively leaving him only with the task of calling you to tell you to come and sort it yourself... ASAP!
Could that work? Might need refining somewhat, and I suppose there's still the not-so-small matter of what to do if your flapping awning is posing a danger/risk to others... people or equipment... but you had opted out of his offer of (paid) help!
How would seasonal owners react to such a service option?... and are the majority of site owners likely to offer it?
...Or shall I just apologise for butting in, and skulk back to the canvas section?

Just remembered...
I started a thread earlier this year regarding us tent campers running for the sanctuary of home/B&B, during a storm, but leaving their tent up, unattended, in the rush to get away.
The overwhelming consensus seemed to be, unless it was a matter of live and death, and unless all campers were being told to evacuate, leaving the tent unattended in this manner was deemed impolite at best, and a down right danger to your remaining neighbours and their equipment at worst.
I appreciate, however, that the majority of caravan awnings, and certainly those set up for seasonal, should be considerably more robust than the majority of our tents, but just thought it worth mentioning.
