Will it got down to 33 in Merritt Inland FL last night with high winds, polls worked great holding things down. Just a note to those who might be using paint roller polls from Lowes, remember to drill a drain hole in bottom, I did not and man what a mess I made.

Excellent tip!! I never even thought of that. Hasn't been a problem so far, but can certainly see how it could be.

Much appreciated!

I don't know if folks doing their own poles are still having problems finding decent feet, but I've been using these that have worked out really well with the painter poles I installed.

DK-in-SC picked up a set of poles tonight to install on his previously purchased brackets. I bet he doesn't install them for a few days with the weather we're having in the Charlotte area.

Very true. Our camper is going to stay covered up at the storage yard until mid March.
The poles look great. Thanks for making these available! I enjoyed talking with you and the Mrs. this evening.

It was equally enjoyable talking to you. Very much hope you get the chance to attend a rally sometime and meet some really great people, even Turbs IF Ms. Amy is around to control him!

Any newbies in the Charlotte area need to come by and check the poles out. Only 5 sets left.

Anyone going to Nashville rally the end of July can get free delivery.

Do you have both brackets and poles? Can you attach a picture of them?

Highly recommended, they are a breeze to set up takes a couple of minutes to put them up and stow them when it's time to leave. Had mine up 35 mph winds and still have both awnings, didn't have to run outside during the rain to bring the awnings in..... You still need to strap them down< I use a dog tie out with cargo straps........

I guess no one going to Nville rally wants any poles other than BamaBob and Indymule.

I would imagine the last 5 sets will go fast once the weather breaks.

I would like a set as well, but how do we get them if you're not shipping. I don't live close to Nashville, otherwise I would come pick them up. If your coming near Kansas or Missouri let me know.

I'm picking mine up in early May and I plan to be in Branson the end of May, if that would work for you. We live in Illinois across the river from St. Louis if you ever get near there..
