Awning Issue

[Nmunger]

I’ve discovered that my awning is beginning to pull away from our camper with the screws pulling out. Has anyone had this issue previously and does anyone have any ideas for repair options? I’m thinking I’ll get larger screws and replace the existing screws which should pull the awning tight.

Several others have had this issue, you are not alone. There was a thread posted back in early February which inspired me to pull the screw cover off the awning rail to check on it and sure enough there were loose and stripped screws. I replaced all the screws on the main awning with a combination of #10 stainless screws and Oscar rivets. I am challenged when it comes to attaching links on a mobile device, but if you search “awning Oscar rivets” in the search box above, it will bring up several threads. Good luck
