I need help! (or pictures of yours). I installed the top awning rail and the top mounts on the side/corner of the camper. The instructions clearly state the the 4 side mounts must be one over the other, not installing the top ones on the overhang.

Here's my question - The top mounts are at the top of my door. The directions say to mount the bottom mounts 20" below that. That puts the bottom mount below my chin! Will I still be able to stand under the awning with the bottom mount that low? How did I go wrong? The top mounts look exactly like the instruction manual and the pictures online. I can't tell where the bottom mount is based on the pictures on the company's website. Does anyone have pictures of where theirs is mounted?

I'M AT A STANDSTILL AND WON'T PUT ANY MORE HOLES IN MY CAMPER UNTIL THE GREAT FOLKS OF RV.NET BAIL ME OUT!

I really hope this works, as I'm alot better at posting pictures than doing links, but here's a

Link To Photos of how I did the awning on my Rage'n. The rear facia created some obstacles, but it came out great.

Good luck,
Al

Well, it appears photobucket needs a password and since I can't post it here (even though it's a "view only" password) I'll PM you with it.
BTW, the photos on the album are kinda in reverse order, so you'll have to go through them in reverse.

PERFECT!! THANK YOU!!

I was concerned that the brackets were in the wrong place on mine. I'm on track and will finish drilling my holes now that I know they will be in the right place!
