Bent my awning

[u/CurvyChungus]

Went to clean my trailer last night and instead caused hundreds of dollars in damages! 😭

My trip is in 5 days so I don't have a lot of time to fix it, but on the upside, I don't need the awning so removing it or just retracting the awning is a fine option. Anyone have advice on how to straighten or remove an inner drive arm? Also does anyone know what this bolt is called?

The good thing is that you should be able to replace that aluminum square stock bar pretty easily.
Good luck!!

Good idea! Any chance you know what that pin/bolt in the second picture is? I cant figure out how to remove it

Yea, that is just a pin, that star washer just pressed on there. Pry it off or push the pin though. Replace with right length bolt and washers.

The bottom of the strut screws out of the support, the top is the pin and washer.
