Have sold quite a few to people with the Solera awnings and haven't heard any feedback or complaints.

Just pm me your PayPal log in name.

No, most Canadians have a US pickup point they have stuff shipped to.

I installed on my Solera. You just need to drill two holes to attach the top bracket. You could possibly bend the bracket a bit to allow usage of the motor screw. I didn't choose that method because I have the powder coated brackets and didn't want to cause it any damage by bending. System works as advertised! Thanks OC!!!!!!

Tell all your camping friends that I have 4 whites sets and 11 unpainted sets left and that will be the end of our manufacturing them.

I tried to sell a set for you today. Fellow camper came by and we chatted. Appears the wind got one of the awnings near the lake yesterday....poles are testimony for saved awnings.

Tried to join the group, but it is pending, so I can't post. You might mention them in a post if you would.

Old Coot, the poles I bought a few years ago are holding-up great. Combined with "The Claw Tie-Down Anchors", similar to what they use to hold-down small airplanes, my awning has survived some winds others have not...

On Assateague Island we went for a walk along the beach on a calm day but by the time we got back the wind was flipping awnings. Ours held steady. Paint is holding up good too! MUCH better than if I had made my own. Thanks!
