I believe you are correct. its been a long day. luckily the jeep up front tows it like a champ so the plastics can hitch a ride hahaha. sorry if I got a but defensive there didn't mean to. just catch a lot of **** for using a jeep instead of a monster truck for a tow vehicle haha. as for the awning, it is all the way out. Its not original and it is a bit deceiving as ive droped 1 side to shed the wind/water a bit better. The supports are adjustable to control angle. for longer stays the awening is pegged for extra support and ive been known to collapse it prior to a nasty storm. Thanks for looking out though. couldn't be happier with my purchase
