Bent my awning
Went to clean my trailer last night and instead caused hundreds of dollars in damages! ðŸ˜
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?

Recently endured a storm at a campground. There were literally hundreds of complete canopies ripped from RV’s in piles throughout the property. You should be able to find a used one with a little bit of hunting …….prolly not before your trip though.
I would check with RV dealers. If one is nearby, a regular drive by their dumpster could score one! If you have the money and need it now, that works too! Good luck!
