e. Now that you have determined the bracket locations, using the bracket as your
template, mark the holes for fastening the bracket. NOTE: Use chalk line to
make absolute sure brackets are mounted in straight line.
f. Using a 1/8” bit, pilot drill the centers of the marked holes. Inside of the RV
verify the locations of the backing plates. Note: Please consult your
RV's wiring diagram to ensure that no wiring will be damaged
while drilling the hole.
g. Pre-drill four 1/4 inch holes per mounting bracket through the pilot holes.
h. Apply a liberal amount of silicone caulking around each hole before installing the
brackets.
i. Install the 2 outer brackets, and then the middle bracket(s) (if required) with four
¼ x 1 1/2" carriage bolts, washers, lock nuts and backing plate per bracket. (Figure 2)
j. Tighten bolts and then apply silicone caulking to the top edge and both sides of
each bracket.
k. For the motorized option, on the motor side of the awning drill a 7/16 inch hole
for the awning motor power cable to enter the RV near the electrical source.
Position the hole 4" inch from end of awning. Do not drill hole higher or lower
than the bracket. This will ensure that it will not be seen after the awning is
installed.
