Power awning arm upgrade

[Mike_LA]

A while back, I purchase a pair of Dometic A&E 9100 power awning arms; and a drive motor from eBay. Did the install over the long Holiday weekend.

Prior to deciding on this upgrade, I contacted Winnebago, manufacturer of this year model Sunnybrook trailer. They gladly sent a diagram of the side-wall aluminum frame construction with placement of the wood backers. This way, I'd know where to install the mounting hardware. It's mounted very solidly.

Looks great. Your very fortunate to have had some real wood to attach the critical upper mounting screws to (I assume). I only have an aluminum frame up there and it's not beefy enough to secure them to.
So I take it you keep the old awning tube?
