I don't suppose you know what awning I have and what I would need?

Clearly I don't have a clue.....

Take a close up pic of your whole awning arm.
Or extend your awning and there will be a sticker on your awning roller with a model number

Interested in set of poles and bracketss

Hi TURBS,

I have a 2012 Flagstaff, and would be interested in discussing a set of poles/brackets for my awning.

Could you PM me with the cost and information you might need from me?

Thanks. (Zip 13668, Northern NY).

Your awning must be very low?
Or your REALLY tilting it.

The first hole is 18" off the bottom.

I don't if I know a storm is on the way, but they help if your not in camp when it's hit. There is a limit, that even the poles wouldn't help, but I know for sure at 35 to 40 mph they work
But if it's going to blow like that all day I would just leave it.rolled up
But they do help in a gust, which could send it flying.

Mine survived 60+ mph winds and a tree branch that fell on the awning while we were sitting under it

The poles are a major component and strongest part of the system I my opinion, what and how you anchor your awning hold poles is a large factor on survival of the awning in sudden winds.

OC has rachet straps that have a reel made onto them so the straps never get tangled up when storing
