Rv Awning Screws Pulled Out

My dealer is 160 mi away.

Rv awning screws pulled out.

I replaced all four lag screws with the next size up and a 1 2 longer. After the glue sets simply reinstall the same lag screws after drilling 1 8 inch pilot holes. Could probably get all the stuff at home depot. Three of the four screws were missing and the forth was half way out.

My first trip since the repair is scheduled next week. 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. Originally the rail on my reflection was fastened to the wall with screws all the way across. One of the screws is half pulled out and the silicone is split.

Seal the open holes with silicone before installing the awning bracket. Picked up some 12 stainless screws today at the hardware store. Finally got back out and pulled everything apart found the backers about 1 4 below where they drilled the holes. I was one of the first to have the horizontal awning rail pull out of the wall.

So the bracket that holds the awning to the rv got pulled off at the bottom and the lower 2 screws stripped out of the side of the rv. I will likely pull over ever 50 miles to check. There seem to be two issues getting mixed together here. The lags were screwed into 1 2 wallboard.

I looked and the arm comes as an entire assembly and costs over 500 so it s not worth that. 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 too do not leave the awning out in windy conditions and have only used it a few times. 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.

Seems lately a few screws are coming loose in our rv. Here s my quick fix. Gd please get back to us. It is a 7 hour drive one way so should be an adequate test to determine if the modification worked.

Here s what i m trying first filled the void behind the wall with liquid nails. Friends had theirs pull out just like that. If you have a better idea please comment below i d like to hear how others fix t. I guess it s a good thing i haven t used the awning much.

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. Is it the horizontal awning rail or the vertical awning arm support that pulled out of the wall. Also the bracket is very slightly bent out at the bottom now.

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.
