Awning bracket repair

[mecicon]

While in storage it appears that the front awning bracket was knocked off.

What is the best way to reinstall/repair?

Thank you in advance.

I suspect in addition to the aluminum skin damage, you probably have some internal issues where the screws pulled out.

You may want to look at my attachment in the linked post http://www.trailmanorowners.com/foru...ht=cleat+latch for some ideas on repair.

If you have questions, I'll be happy to answer. Good luck!

Screws, elastic lock nuts, and fender washers if you don't mind going all the way through the wall. Put the screw heads and fender washers inside the camper. Paint to match before installing.

Awesome write-up. Also need a new cleat, when it was impacted it ripped off the bottom (bezel?) thing a ma jiggy.

See picture.

Was told (by local rv dealer) Fiamma was purchased by someone and would be better to find online.

No problem. You can order the "thing a ma jig," also known as a wall bracket (98655-728) directly from Fiamma. http://www.fiammausa.com/service/spa...p?spares_ID=58

Thanks, I kept looking at the FIAMMA site and not the FIAMMA USA site.

Big Help.

The newly designed wall bracket is different but here it is installed prior to painting. Thanks for the excellent write up.

Took longer than expected, had to assemble parts, wait til dw was out of town to have access to driveway, get motivated, etc.

Terrific job! Better than new!

I'm curious how it fits in there....is there some sort of clip to hold it in like the original that has the round bar that slides down over it to lock the bracket in place?

The area that has the FIAMMA brand on it slides up, you insert the awning leg clip.
