Pulled pegged awarning legs out of ground end bracket pulled through inner wall. Using tools from the campsite handy men managed to make temp fix. There's a dealer in Interlarken so hoping they can help. Outer wall looks ok, so hoping they can remove awarning straighten bracket and re seal until I get home next week. In mean time have made bigger bracket and put gaffer tape on awarning to bodywork to keep any rain outView attachment 177360

I stand corrected.I bow to your knowledge and experience.Ours has a wooden frame with insulation infill. Certain areas have heavier timber for load bearing, such as the awning and bike rack. Maybe not all do. Ours is far from wafer thin, maybe 40mm thick.
