Recently, strong winds lifted my awning onto the roof of my motor home. It was obvious that damage had been done to the support arms but we were still able to roll the awning up and store it preventing further damage.
Thanks for posting a 'good' review for a RV mobile Repair.
I had this same thing happen to me when a tornado touched down in the CG I was staying at.
I had the fabric replaced on site. The one thing no one checked was where the bottom of the awning arm attaches to the RV.
Months later I was getting water on the carpet by the bathroom and couldn't figure out where it was coming from.
Check where the bottom of the awning arms bolts onto the side of the MH and make sure they are not stripped and loose.
Mine sits right on the side seam and all of them are only drilled into the thin wood flooring of the coach. Barely supporting all the weight of an awning and the stress of putting it up and down on a good day let alone being ripped around from the storm.
Mine 'were' loose from the storm damage and water seeped in there into the wood and was wicked up by the carpet every time it rained.:R
