We haven't unrolled it all the way. We attempted to this weekend and because of its length and the "sag/break" were afraid we wouldn't be able to get it rolled back up if it is broke. There is also a middle arm that we think the bottom part is missing. Here is a picture. A&E said that we probably need the support rafter.

Thank you all for any help given.
Yes I remember reading any awning over 20' should have a support brace in the middle whilst in storage.

At 8 years old the awning cloth is probably not in the best of shape anyway. Changing that monster out is a large job. You might shop around and see if you can get a replacement installation for a good price. It doesn't even need to be so long cause it will be pricey.
We would like to try and fix before buying new awning.
Not that much of a job with 2 people with ladders, just cumbersome. Have installed an 18' by myself and that is a JOB! Takes 2 ladders and a few clamps, but can be done if you're determined. If the tube is bent/broken, you will have to take the material off the trailer and that is a job. I made a T the height of the awning mount to hold the awning.
Youroo!!
