The Support arm of my awning decided to break early Sunday morning, it was raining and not very windy but there was no build up of water. Now I have it removed from the motorhome I can see the cast aluminium hinge has broken inside the aluminium arm and the steel wires have twisted it out of the arm.
It has also ripped one of the legs off but thats just a pop rivet.
Is this a common problem and does it mean I am going have the other arm break soon.
Is it worth replacing the arm or should I get a whole new awning or go for a driveaway awning
Help and advice please.
And just to make the decision that bit more difficult I live on the Isle of Wight so to see any range of poducts it means a ferry over to the mainland every time
