awning poles

[keepucool2]

Well we took out the ntu camper this weekend and it was a wet one. would have been nice to use the bag awning. We have a 90 coleman with a bag awninging on the side. it seems like the three poles (ridge poles) that go from the camper to the cross member are missing. I would like to replace them and wondered if anyone had made some what they used and were supposed to look like. I would also like to do the awning mod so these are kind of important.

Thanks,
Eric

Last year one of mine bent in heavy winds. I went to a Fleetwood dealer and I believe he told me they were about $40 each. For now I'm using an expandable painters pole from Home Depot, it was $10.

You might think about replacing the awning. I put a ShadeMaker Awning, on my Cabin A and it easy enough to rollup that I can do it by myself and the Cabin A IS NOT a popup, so I have to stretch *thank goodness for Rubbermaid steps and a clamp). It is totally self contained (except for the tiki torch holders I use to help stablize the awning, can't seem to get them in the bag...)

Eric,
Last year we ordered one of these from Cabela's because of wind damage. It was the middle pole and didn't match the others, but it was more heavy duty and stainless steel and was about $10. You might try that.
