Awning brackets

On my 2018 Vegas I noticed a bolt for the front and rear brackets were missing. I checked the rest of them and found most were stripped and would not tighten, only 2 on the front and 3 on the rear were holding the awning to the coach. Camping world says they have to remove the whole side to fix the problem. Anyone else have the problem, if not better check the bolts on yours.

We had a couple that were stripped on our Ace 29.3, but our awning had several other spots to just drive another lag bolt through. I personally would not let them take the side of your coach off for those bolts, even if I had to drill a hole below the original hole. Just drill through bracket only. Then sink a new lag bolt of same size and length. Take old lag out fill with sikaflex or dicor or silicone and put lag back in. IMHO
