Have an '86 Sunrader with a Trans-Awning 2000 that was mounted using 1" long #8 self tapping sheet metal screws.
i recently took the awing down to clean, re-seal, and to reinstall.
Reckoned it best to move up to #10 1 inch panhead screws. A&E(makers of trans-awning) originally recommends using 3/4" #10 panhead screws. So, using a little fatter screws, i put some butyl tape where the screw will be going through and reinstalled. Two of the new screws 'free-spun', apparently not biting onto much of anything.
Do not like the way it is sealed, nor the way it is mounted.
Any recommendations? Did not find anything concerning sealing it up against Fiberglass. The concern are the almost 20 screw holes through the fiberglass. Do not want rain entering through any of these.
Shall I take some Dicor to the top seam where the awning connects to the fiberglass body?
What do you all do?
