I did a search on awnings but didn't really get the answer I am looking for. All I want is some opinions on the best quality awning. The one on the van stretched so much in the recent storm it is no longer serviceable. Only had it replaced a little over 12 months ago. I wonder if a stretched awning is covered b...

I am considering redoing my genset box on the A frame BUT it is difficult to keep the WDH chains vertical. I thought (now that's a worry) I read somewhere that there are different lengths of the WDH bars. I cannot seem to find that info now. Tried the HR website. Aussie Paul.
