Three of the four screws were missing and the forth was half way out.
Rv awning screws pulled out.
They are slightly longer than the original awning screws but the same as some of the other screws used on exterior pieces namely the bike rack which has been removed.
Here s what i m trying first filled the void behind the wall with liquid nails.
Here s my quick fix.
Picked up some 12 stainless screws today at the hardware store.
Is it the horizontal awning rail or the vertical awning arm support that pulled out of the wall.
I just looked at my awning today after a 1 week trip and it is also pulling away at the back portion above the door.
If you have a better idea please comment below i d like to hear how others fix t.
I believe a relative of theirs worked at an rv dealer and fabbed it up for them but it didn t look all that difficult.
I looked and the arm comes as an entire assembly and costs over 500 so it s not worth that.
Seal the open holes with silicone before installing the awning bracket.
I guess it s a good thing i haven t used the awning much.
Could probably get all the stuff at home depot.
Seems lately a few screws are coming loose in our rv.
There seem to be two issues getting mixed together here.
I replaced all four lag screws with the next size up and a 1 2 longer.
Finally got back out and pulled everything apart found the backers about 1 4 below where they drilled the holes.
The lags were screwed into 1 2 wallboard.
Gd please get back to us.
Friends had theirs pull out just like that.
I will likely pull over ever 50 miles to check.
Also the bracket is very slightly bent out at the bottom now.
Which keeps the awning from sliding left or right.
One of the screws is half pulled out and the silicone is split.
After the glue sets simply reinstall the same lag screws after drilling 1 8 inch pilot holes.
My dealer is 160 mi away.
If your internal framing consists of aluminum or steel studs instead of wood supports you may have success simply going to a larger 5 16 lag screw as you ve suggested.
My first trip since the repair is scheduled next week.
A tornado got my awning last week and when the mobile rv repair had completed installing it he took out his screw gun and started to put a screw into the rail.
Hopefully this will do the trick.
Originally the rail on my reflection was fastened to the wall with screws all the way across.
I was one of the first to have the horizontal awning rail pull out of the wall.
I asked what the heck he was doing and he said my awning never had the screws put in from the factory.
The fix was a couple of metal plates attached first to get new screw holes into the wood then attach the awning back to the plate.
