from my experience with FR they don't use the best or even close to the good stuff when building a TT. I know that building TT's isn't rocket science but and FR practices that very well. they put different sized tires and wheels on my TT. I could say more but I just get too worked up to talk about them and their ways of doing things.

Ok I see that you need to vent, but please don't pollute my thread with it thank you. I know people who own Porche's and are unhappy with them, doesn't mean that all of them are crap. My forest river has treated me QUITE well

You are smart to install a center support.

I installed an awning cradle support on my new trailer ($30.00) to prevent any sagging. What I have noticed is that it is the bumping along the road that causes the awning to start to bend.

My awning was much too long, in my opinion, not to come with one already installed. Seems like it should have.
