Originally the rail on my reflection was fastened to the wall with screws all the way across.
Rv awning screws pulled out.
Gd please get back to us.
Seems lately a few screws are coming loose in our rv.
I guess it s a good thing i haven t used the awning much.
If you have a better idea please comment below i d like to hear how others fix t.
I believe a relative of theirs worked at an rv dealer and fabbed it up for them but it didn t look all that difficult.
After the glue sets simply reinstall the same lag screws after drilling 1 8 inch pilot holes.
Picked up some 12 stainless screws today at the hardware store.
I just looked at my awning today after a 1 week trip and it is also pulling away at the back portion above the door.
My first trip since the repair is scheduled next week.
Also the bracket is very slightly bent out at the bottom now.
I was one of the first to have the horizontal awning rail pull out of the wall.
I will likely pull over ever 50 miles to check.
Here s my quick fix.
Here s what i m trying first filled the void behind the wall with liquid nails.
I looked and the arm comes as an entire assembly and costs over 500 so it s not worth that.
It is a 7 hour drive one way so should be an adequate test to determine if the modification worked.
So the bracket that holds the awning to the rv got pulled off at the bottom and the lower 2 screws stripped out of the side of the rv.
I asked what the heck he was doing and he said my awning never had the screws put in from the factory.
Hopefully this will do the trick.
A tornado got my awning last week and when the mobile rv repair had completed installing it he took out his screw gun and started to put a screw into the rail.
My dealer is 160 mi away.
Is it the horizontal awning rail or the vertical awning arm support that pulled out of the wall.
The lags were screwed into 1 2 wallboard.
Which keeps the awning from sliding left or right.
Finally got back out and pulled everything apart found the backers about 1 4 below where they drilled the holes.
Could probably get all the stuff at home depot.
Three of the four screws were missing and the forth was half way out.
One of the screws is half pulled out and the silicone is split.
I replaced all four lag screws with the next size up and a 1 2 longer.
There seem to be two issues getting mixed together here.
Seal the open holes with silicone before installing the awning bracket.
I too do not leave the awning out in windy conditions and have only used it a few times.
The fix was a couple of metal plates attached first to get new screw holes into the wood then attach the awning back to the plate.
