Really cheap DIY for Carefree Awning Headknockers
We have a carefree awning on our RV and we are generally happy with it.
However I'm 6'2" and I kept bumping my head on that elbow that sticks down. It was what's known as a headknocker.
So when next in Wally World I picked up a roll of inch wide bright colored ribbon in the crafts area , orange in my case. The roll only has a few feet of ribbon and I cut it in half and tied one doubled over piece to each elbow front and back. I haven't whacked my head on it since doing that.
The ribbon rolls up with the awning and blows in the wind going down the road. It's held up for three thousand miles so far and is a bit weather worn but still functional. Think it cost less than $3.
