I had the awning up the other day (drying after a washing) on our 91 Dolphin, when apparently a strong enough wind came by and tore it up, while I was out front working in the yard. The lower bracket that holds the track closest to the passenger door, was pulled out (basically ripped off the camper, lag screws and all). This apparently allowed the whole thing to fold over and rip the awning right off the roller.
Anyway, I need to repair the siding. It's only a small area that was pulled away and ripped a bit (maybe 3"x3" total) What would I use? Fiberglass??.
Also, what could I use to repair the wood behind the siding. As you can imagine, when the lag screws were pulled out, it did a bit of damage to the wood. I'd like to have the awning repaired and put it back on, so the wood (or fixed area of wood) would have to be strong enough to put lag screws into it and hold it.
Thanks guys/gals..
