I could do it. Just get OC to ship them to me and I'll send them on to their respective buyers.

For those who can't get poles shipped to you, here is an alternative. Total cost for 2 poles and fittings $40. They are probably not as sturdy as OC's set up, but when the wind gets that strong, I retract my awning. They could be permanently installed, but I store them in storage area and just install when needed,

I would. After everyone pays me in advance first to swing down to pick them up though! We ship longs regularly out of my company's shipping and receiving, and because of what we ship we package extreme to avoid the shenanigans of the commercial couriers. For instance, the poles would go in triple-ply cardboard tube mailers with Instapak at each end, then stapled-on inner plastic end caps, and then glued cardboard outer caps! We then run a custom-printed tape at the ends with a dashed line and "cut here" markings because you literally have to saw an end off to get the contents!

Are you home already OC? If anyone needs them they work great, being he has only 10 sets, I would be PM today if someone needs or wants them they are great as endorsed by many members who have gotten them. I wouldn't be without them now that they are installed. Just one less worry. From them cheap constructed awning's by Dometic. Great investment......

This is the first I've heard of this mod and interested in a set for my 2014 233s. If I can get a PM on price that'd be great!

Someone ask if I would bring a set to the Nashville rally and due to CRS, can't remember who it was. I will start making the 10 sets this week provided I get enough gumption to unload the tubing in the 27° temperature here in Concord.

Got home @ 6:15 last night. I just now unhooked and got the pole material out of the truck. Have to take TOWTA to the store in the truck as she doesn't want to uncover her old junker and take it out in the cold. LOL. We will come back from the store and I will go into hibernation in the garage.

Got the 20 outer tube pads cut, de-burred and ready to weld and the positioning fixture made, outer tubes de-burred on both ends. Will de-burr the 20 inner tubes tomorrow, layout, drill and chamfer the 28 holes in each pole. Will wait until better weather to take the pads over to Butlerbuilt to get them welded.
