Just a "consumer report" on the intrawest - supplied bag awning. After one three month stint in Florida, one vertical arm became almost impossible to deploy to full height. When I got home I disassembled it and found corrosion and a metal flash on the locking piece. There was a groove on the aluminum lower arm from the flash on the steel insert . Taking it apart to buff and lube the offending plate involved drilling out the 1" rivet. None are available locally and the manufacturer does not return my emails. Also corroded was the detent/spring-loaded button on the one rafter arm. The bag covering fills with rainwater due to the height of the "C" tube on the side of the
Trillium (had to raise it to be able to open/close trailer door)...so i have poked drainage holes in the bottom of the bag.
That being said, the awning does the job...but I am not impressed with the quality and response to customer complaint.
