I still have a set or two of these for sale.
Included pieces all unpainted.
Kit includes:
2 sets of poles.
Mounting and holding brackets.
*Tie down cork screws.
Tie down ratchets and straps.
All hardware needed.
These awning poles are a collaboration of old coots brackets and my poles.
User Essness has a set as well as johnt I belive was the name among the many others that old coot sold on his own.

From a dingbat who wishes she'd gotten a set from OC, what are the poles made of , metal or pvc, and whatcha want for 'em? Probably metal since ya mentioned painting, but pvc *can* be painted now.

I do have to shamefully admit- I bought a set of these awning poles back in April from Coot. I never got around to installing/using them because I kept claiming that I was going to paint them before putting them up. Well, that never happened.
I brought them along for this camping trip (2 weeks) because I knew we'd want to be able to keep the awning out. These things have been AWESOME! It's so nice to take the stress of our awning away.

In all seriously, I want to thank Neil/Old Coot for these. They're a brilliant idea and I thank him for the peace of mind. It really changed how we were able to camp (for the BETTER!) this trip.

Seems every trip I get told I better store my awning. I simply keep an eye on the sky, and so far, even with the huge 20' awning, it holds great while tied down and tilted for rain runoff.
Thanks OC!

Thank you both for the kind words, I'm delighted they are working for you. That's what this forum is all about, helping others. A big thank you to Lou Amadio and the other moderators for allowing me to sell them. I hope everyone that purchased them are satisfied.

You need to make a set of end covers similar to what I did to keep the water from getting into the ends. So far they have worked great.

Don't we all? Dometic just hasn't figured that out in the 40+ yrs they've been making awnings. Guess they don't camp.
Was going to discuss that if we had gone on the Dometic Awning factory tour we were promised by the Dometic awning lady.

Maybe they camp but don't use there own awning cause they can't hold it down in the wind ! 
I think we should apply for patents.
