Well a 5:00AM storm caught us off guard and the rain pooled up and caused two brackets on the right side of the awning to sheer off and snap. Called the dealer, at least $1,000 to fix more than likely. Looks like parts alone are north of $500.
It's a Carefree awning. So much for being carefree ;-)
I'm soooo upset because I know better, but it was early and wasn't thinking clearly.
At least we were able to close it. Bringing to dealer Monday morning. I'm sure it'll take 2 weeks or more, but I'll likely use it anyways waiting for parts to arrive and an open time slot.
Try some place else, that price seems very high. Especially the labor. I lost my awning earlier this year to a sudden downpour and had to have the entire unit replaced, it was a 22' carefree awning and cost me $1670 including labor to have it installed.
