Well, I just had to.
But anyway I did receive some guff over it. Go to bigger screws, add this and that to the holes. All most all
awning detaching is due to weather etc.
Mine was new, second time out I could see the ends pulling out. Went along with a wrench and everyone that was not into a stud, spun. I'm like WTF, your screwing with self drilling screws into very soft, no strong wood
. Talked to the dealer and they were gonna send someone out to do the guff things
OK didnt work the first time and why would you think it would a second time. You mean all this detail and design of these units and you forgot to put a header on a 5th wheel designed to hold the
awning,Sarcasm.
I do alot of fixing around my park. I'm a machine millwright of sorts.I go by, If I cant fix it ,it's not broke its F***** up beyond repair.
I've done a total of 6 Carefree window awnings for myself and others. Funny they give you the same self drilling screws and tell you to put the
awning roughly 4 inches over the window. GUESS WHAT, fiberglass or even tin sided trailers, there is nothing to screw into with any strength. Have they not learned their lesson yet??
