I had a near miss today with an awning i picked up "online"
it is held together with aluminium rivets and a couple of them sheared off under light vibration
I drilled out all of them one at a time and replaced the soft aluminium rivets with 4.8 mm diameter steel bodied rivets , and used double the number of rivets too.
Anyone that has one of these wouldnt get 2 hours up the desert roads outback without them falling apart
having your awning fall off your vehicle is one thing , having it spear through somebodies windscreen is another.
I am not sure it matters what brand of chinese awning you have , 90 % of them have identical extrusions and identical construction , the only difference is the label.
