Unsolicited Testimonial:

We were down on the Gulf Coast for spring break last week. It was our first camping trip since installing OC's awning poles and brackets. It was so nice to be able to leave the awning out all week. We never had to retract it even though there were some breezy afternoons. It is well worth the money.

Down to 3 kits until I can get more made, which will take at least a week or more to get the nuts, bolts, hitch pins, rivets and brackets cut, formed drilled, bead blasted, etc.

OldCoot,
I'm fairly new to this forum but your awning pole hold-down kit sounds like something I have been looking for ever since we got our first trailer in May 2013. Even when locked in place the awnings don't feel very sturdy and I've always believed there should be some way of securing them better.

Apparently there's a lot of interest in your kit, I think this is page 122. Do you have photos of what you make and sell? If so, to see them and know the price would be much appreciated. thanks...............

also, I see you're in NC also, we're near Morehead City

Its worth the trip to OC's. I had a wonderful time drinking coffee and talking with a fine gentleman. I wish I lived closer so I could help him weld the mods he has promised others. I drove 8 hrs round trip in one day and would do again in a minute if I needed to. Wish OC and others were going to Goshen this year for its mine and my wife's 1st one. Maybe next time. Thanks OC for the great conversation and friendship.

Somebody call Ms. Amy quickly, Turbs is either inebriated again or having a mental lapse.

BTW, gatnfans, I really enjoyed talking to you also. Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks Turbs.

0 kits left.

Have to take the alum sheet to Butler Built to have more brackets plasma cut, so it will be at least a week before more kits are available. Thank you everyone who purchased the kits and poles.

I think your confused.
Last year you didn't go to goshen remember?
Oh wait you did go.
I don't remember any "payment" last year but I do remember payment 2 years ago.
So your a year behind on payroll bud.
I know frankie isn't in charge or I'd have been paid "in full" plus a bonus.

No, delivered the alum sheet and will pick up the parts still in the sheets tomorrow late. Then the work begins. Might get Mardy to help when he gets here Sat. He'll only be here for 6 days and will need something to do.
