Bracket of unknown use

So a few weeks ago we took ownership of our first tt. As I was preping for the upcoming season I noticed the brackets shown in the picture. It sits right under the awning and there are two. One in the front and one in the back on the awining side. I am looking up at them in the picture. This is a 2008 ROO 23ss. Does anyone know what they are used for? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not getting where these are. Can you post a wider shot?

I own a 2007 23SS and mine doesn't have that.
Looks like something a former owner installed.

If its at the center of the awning it could be for a center spanner bar sometimes used for longer awnings. I have seen some that bow upward to give the awning a crown in the middle so the rain water will not pool on top the awning.

I would call the dealer and ask him/her to call the prior owner and ask them.

Looks like a "Carefree Snapless Upgrade Kit" top bracket used on Carefree Add-A-Room screen rooms. Had the upgrade on a Class C, loved it!
Don't think it's available any more.....

Thanks for the info. I am going Friday to the dealership so will ask then if I see my sales rep to call the previous owner and see what it is. I thought they were some type of attachment like a screen room.

I'd like to know what those brackets screwed to the coach near the slide out covers are supposed to do? Something to aid in installation perhaps. ? There is one at the front of each slide cover. Its a two piece extrusion and powder coated.

Don't know about the bracket, but looks as you might need to do some caulking repairs.

Maybe the previous owner added it. It does look like the awning bracket I had on my popup.
