Parked up ,wound out the awning, anchored it down and went to the pub in the rain.
Came back to find the awning collapsed one side with the front bracket half ripped out of the van.
Seems as the water collected in the centre of the awning in a large pool ,forced down the friction support leg,tipped it over to the ground one side, trying to rip itself off the M/H.
Moral is--put a slant on your awning so the rain can run off to one corner not collect in the middle :thumb:
Nearly repaired now :thumb:
