Hello All - Yesterday I discovered a "problem" with my Carefree Awning. It is not actually with the awning, but with the support arm mounts. The upper mount on the rear was "loose", so I started to tighten it and found that neither of the attachments (lag screws?) were finding any material to tighten to. They were just pushed into oversized holes! The lower mounts on the front are also showing some problems. They pull the small "beltline trim" away from the body when the awning is extended. The bolts appear to be into the floor, but are not picking up all of the load. Any suggestions on how to fix rapidly? (We close escrow on the sale of the house on Friday and are leaving town in "Willie" right after that. I've been so busy moving that I haven't paid enough attention to the A/S. I was thinking about some type of hollow wall anchor for the upper mount, maybe with a "doubler plate riveted on for a thicker skin. The lower mount needs more study, but a longer screw might be enough there. Any ideas are appreciated!
