5.1.2 Securing the Mounting Bracket to a
Non-Solid Structure
I
A non-solid structure requires the use of a backing
plate on the inside RV wall in conjunction with
sleeves and carriage bolts to support the awning.
I
Sleeves and carriage bolts (grade 8.8 minimum)
must
be cut to fit the RV wall, then remove any
burrs (where cut)
prior
to installation.
1. Drill clearance holes large enough to accommodate
the sleeves at each intersecting point on the
horizontal lines.
