If I remember (and I may well have forgotten or may be confused) there used to be the same warning in the rail installation step that is currently in the bracket installation step: "The mounting surface must have sufficient framing or backing to support the brackets and allow the use of the screws. Aluminum or fiberglass skins are not adequate to support the installation."

Cant say I've seen that warning. The awning rail included in the kits we use have a screw hole about every 1" and the screws included to mount said rail aren't long enough to go through the outside skin AND grab onto framework.
