Slide-Out Backings
I have a 2019 Phoenix 298RLS and want to put slide-out awnings on it? How do you tell if it has the backings to mount slide-out brackets. I checked with Manufacture, but Virus has sent workers home.

There probably are no backing plates for the slide out awning mounting brackets. When I installed them on our trailer, the upper bracket screws did go into the slide out top frame, but the lower screws just fastened through the outer skin. Instead of using a butyl sealer under the brackets, I used 3M black two sided tape and melted the screw holes with the soldering iron. This avoids the "squeezing" around the edges and adds a little bonding strength to the sidewall.
