If your RV has the armless awnings, check the elbow joints out from time to time! This is what happen to the right side elbow (over the door) of our awning!! The piece that broke off almost hit me on the head when the awning was opening.
Will check with the manufacturer to see if there is a remedy for me. I also have an appointment with CW on Monday to check it out.
Wish us luck on this one!!!!
