The top pic appears to be 2 disassembled roller tubes, hopefully with all the pieces, with one arm that attaches to the RV & part of one fabric tensioner. The other pic is the roller tube with no arms & part of a tensioner. If you like jigsaw puzzles that might be good, but otherwise which or how many pieces did they leave behind the barn in the weeds.
Don't think I want an awning bad enough to think about either of those!!

Bontragers does not ship at all, so that's definitely out.

I can't find (or Google Maps can't find) Pageland, Arkansas, and your IP indicates Atlanta, GA, so I'm unsure where you're actually located. That said, if you're interested in seeing where and what an RV salvage yard might have, you can google "rv salvage yards near little rock Arkansas" and a list of businesses that deal in RV salvage will come up. There are several listed that would probably have what you're looking for.

If you're not near Little Rock, you can change the location and google for "RV Salvage" near your location and probably find several places that might have a salvage awning. Expect to pay more for a serviceable awning than for the "junk" that you found on Craig's List, but likely a serviceable salvage awning would be substantially cheaper than a new one.

I'm in Pageland, SC. About an hour south of Charlotte, NC. I've googled but there doesn't seem to be anything showing up.

I select SC, click save, and it still displays Arkansas. I gave up trying to correct it. Click image for larger version

I fixed it for you. You're now in the South Carolina.

Thank you!

I'm wondering if it was a Tapatalk problem.

Possibly. I went into the software and changed your location. Only administrators and moderators have access to that part of the forum.

Can you fix mine too?!?! I've been fighting that issue since I discovered it about 6 or 8 months ago. I thought it was something to do with the Tapatalk app.

I will IF you tell me where you are located, (STATE AND CITY) that you want it to reflect. I'm not going to "guess at what it should be" based on trying to find the information. Happy to help, but tell me specifically what to change.

Yay!! Thanks. Schulenburg Texas. Or if you want to just "guess" you can put me where ever you like. But the weather here is really enjoyable right now so, if you choose to move me please wait for a week or so. [emoji23]

The awning you pictured isn't just electric, the majority of them also have a wind sensor so that if the winds get too bad, or rain, it will automatically wind up and stow away without you having to even be there to do it.
Camping world has a lot of different options available for awnings, check them out, sometimes you can even get specials for low cost install. If they install it, then it comes with a warranty.

I've looked at the CW website quite a bit. I'm definitely not going to pay what I've seen so far or pay for an install. I'll just use what I have and keep a watch out in the meantime for an awning.

If I go with a new awning it would probably be one like in post #10. Much more and it would be cost prohibitive.

If you did get one, since you can find where the old one was (I think you stated this somewhere?) I would just install it yourself. You may need another person at some point, but I feel like attaching the hardware would be the easiest part. Other than that I think you have to rotate the tube a certain way so it has tension on it to roll up to the trailer? (manual awning)

My only real concern would be if there was "nothing" for it to attach to, like if there are wooden studs inside that are rotted or something and thats why it didn't have an awning? But I feel like most have some sort of aluminum stud in there, maybe there is someway you can find this out?

I'd come help but its a bit of a drive lol.

I've been reading the "awning ripped off" thread in case that's what happened.

That's great. I've been messing with that for months trying to fix it.
