Well...I did it..I left my awning up last nite to let it dry..a huge windstorm came up during the nite and destroyed the brackets and other hardware. Does anyone know of a repair kit for Imperial 8500 made by AE systems?
The roller and vinyl awning are not damaged.

If you have a RV dealer with parts store, nearby , go there with your bent broken parts

If you have the intstallation manual for awning it will be helpful to know the correct name for parts needing replacement

Otherwise try

Thanks for the information Tech47...I just saved myself around 500 dollars by not having to order the entire awning....just needed the repair parts that are around 300 dollars...
I think I can do the work myself...I hope.

My awning arms got bent during a bad storm and I took the parts to the local RV dealer. They went out back to the junk pile and came back with the parts that I needed that where in great shape and charged me $10/piece.
