Anybody that has this type? http://awninglock.com/index.shtml
How do you like it?
Easy to install?
Anybody have installed on manual "Carefeee of Colorado"?
I've been about getting one, Camping World doesn't carry them I was told Saturday by their parts person.
On my old rv I bent a rod that fit into roller tube hole and was strapped to side of the awning leg. Looked sort of weird and had to break out ladder in place peg in hole. But did the trick.
Thinking about "going first class" this time.
If you have one PLEASE what do you think about it???
(I did a search and don't see very many people that have one by the search results, but these were mentioned as a fix in a thread. Not actually how people liked them after buying and installing and using them.)
Thanks
I bought this one a couple of years ago and installed it on the awning. The toughest thing is to drill the hole in the right place. On mine, it sometimes doesn't line up when I roll the awning up and I have to pull it out and try again. When it works, (lies up) it works well and I am happy to have it installed. I feel better about having it on there. I have never seen the option of using the awning rod though. That looks like a good idea too, (as long as it stays in place).
