SoundGuy. In your reply (and slamming me for not putting down what model my awning it is), you admit that they make a low quality awning that should be replaced no matter what shape it is in. The awning is in good shape and I do not plan on replacing it. My big concern is will it open while traveling. What holds it together while moving looks like it could cause problems. And on my the two arms do not aline as I think they should. Mine maybe missing a spacer that I saw on an other awning just like mine.
