6. 

On the plate mark the location of the mounting locations.  The inner mounting locations should be 
spaced as evenly as possible between the outer mounting locations.  Locations must match the frame 
location pattern.  If a mounting location cannot match a structural member, refer to the "Alternate 
Mounting Plate Attachment Method" below. 

7. 

On the mounting plate drill 7/16” holes at the marks made in the previous step.  The grooves in the 
plate are the vertical locations for the holes.  Each location has two holes.

8. 

Position the mounting plate on the coach wall using the marks from step 2.  Horizontally position the 
plate as required. 

9. 

On one end of the plate, use the plate as a template and drill an 11/32” pilot hole into the structure.  
Attach the plate using a 3/8-16 x 1 1/2 thread cutting screw. 

10.  Confirm position of plate and repeat step 6 on the opposite end of 

the mounting plate. 

11.  Continue to drill and attach using the 3/8-16 x 1 1/2 thread cutting screws 

until all mounting holes are done. 

12. 

For motorized configurations.

  Drill one (1) 1/2” hole through outer wall as 

shown in Figure 4.  RH configuration is shown, for LH configuration 
reverse end location.  (Hole is behind the awning motor.)

RIMARY ATTACHMENT 

MUST

 BE INTO 

THE STRUCTURE AS DESCRIBED ABOVE

.

 

When it is not possible to attach into structure or if 
the screws will be exposed inside the coach, an 
alternate method is to use a backing plate and 
cover.  The installer must furnish the 3/8 bolts, 
washers and lock nuts. 

1.  Using the mounting plate as a template, 

drill 7/16” holes through the wall.  The 
inside of the wall must be accessible. 

2.  Attach as shown in Figure 5 using a backing 

plate and cover.  Torque nuts to 50 in-lb.
