I did take a couple of 3' pices of 3/8 pipe insulation and wedged them behind the lower bracket,,, and then pushed the locking pin thru the insulation,,, just in case they raddled ???

Well here are the pictures you requested, there is NO weep Holes. Nothing weep out of the bottom only the attached hole, nothing comes out until the water gets to that point. Maybe mine are different?

You forgot to show the hose running in the other end.

Sorry no weep holes as stated. If I had a viedo I would show you after a 15 mins I could dump the remaining water out of the end that was below the mounting hole, so please don't even try and start your stuff again....Have a nice day Neil...

The slugs bolted to the pad are not a tight fit and certainly not water tight. No way it will hold that much rain water. Drill a hole thru the pad if you're worried.

Awning hold down poles.

I'll be shipping four sets of pole kits hopefully by the end of the week so if you have a set ordered and paid for, they'll be on the way!

Slightly off topic. The pole kits work well and I used mine during winter in Florida. However the awning of my 26RR still flaps in a decent breeze. The awning mechanism does not have the cross beam that runs parallel to the awning material so one can attach the deflappers so what have other people done to deflap with the newer mechanism on the FR Trailers?
