Rv Awning Screws Pulled Out

I asked what the heck he was doing and he said my awning never had the screws put in from the factory.

Rv awning screws pulled out.

After the glue sets simply reinstall the same lag screws after drilling 1 8 inch pilot holes. They are slightly longer than the original awning screws but the same as some of the other screws used on exterior pieces namely the bike rack which has been removed. Friends had theirs pull out just like that. It is a 7 hour drive one way so should be an adequate test to determine if the modification worked.

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. 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. Gd please get back to us. I replaced all four lag screws with the next size up and a 1 2 longer.

I guess it s a good thing i haven t used the awning much. 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. 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. If your internal framing consists of aluminum or steel studs instead of wood supports you may have success simply going to a larger 5 16 lag screw as you ve suggested.

Here s my quick fix. The lags were screwed into 1 2 wallboard. If you have a better idea please comment below i d like to hear how others fix t. I was one of the first to have the horizontal awning rail pull out of the wall.

Which keeps the awning from sliding left or right. I too do not leave the awning out in windy conditions and have only used it a few times. 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. Here s what i m trying first filled the void behind the wall with liquid nails.

My dealer is 160 mi away. I looked and the arm comes as an entire assembly and costs over 500 so it s not worth that. Could probably get all the stuff at home depot. My first trip since the repair is scheduled next week.

One of the screws is half pulled out and the silicone is split. Seems lately a few screws are coming loose in our rv. Hopefully this will do the trick. I will likely pull over ever 50 miles to check.

Three of the four screws were missing and the forth was half way out. Finally got back out and pulled everything apart found the backers about 1 4 below where they drilled the holes. Picked up some 12 stainless screws today at the hardware store. Seal the open holes with silicone before installing the awning bracket.

Originally the rail on my reflection was fastened to the wall with screws all the way across.
