has anyone removed their awning? is there a simple way?

in 10 years of RVing, we've never used the awning. we opened it a time or 2 to inspect it. i would love to remove lag screws to unattach vertical elements and then simply slide the 13' awning tube...

One of the first things I removed from my trailer was the awning and its frame. I never use it, so I've got it under an overhang behind the house in case anyone wants it in the future.

Anyway, why haul around 75 pounds of stuff that isn't used but can cause damage to old bridges, leaks, fuel-sapping wind resistance and the potential for deploying like a popgun on the Interstate?


i did not realize i was making so many good moves! they make good sense, thanks.
