Electric Rear awning on Arctic Fox... need pics

I'm considering upgrading my 811 to a power rear awning. THe manual awning is a nuisance to deploy unless you like balancing on the rear bumper while trying to extend it.

The concern I have is the mounting point of the arms. There's a mid-point standoff bracket, and the bottom of the leg bolts to the wall too.

I need some photos that show where the bottom mount is - I realize it's near the jack, but a photo would make it easier to see if it's close to the location of my current awning arms.
  • Just curious of the need for the standoff brackets? My camper's not an AF but it mounts directly to the back of the camper.
  • It's a 2014 AF811. The button to extend and retract the awning is located just inside the entry door on the right side next to the dinette slide (but not actually on any area that slides). Kind of between the fire extinguisher and the slide section. I can get a picture on here for you later today.

    Yep, that's exactly what I needed. Thanks!

    The bottom bracket is just like the bracket part way up the wall. I remember what the other bracket looked like from my Visit to Apache Camping center in Tacoma on Monday, prior to heading east back home.

    What year is your AF?

    One more question.... Where is the switch located to extend and retract the awning?
  • I went to the Spokane AF dealer today to check it, and they have NO AF campers in inventory.
