5.3 Determining the Awning
Location

WARNING: IMPACT AND/OR CRUSH
HAZARD.
Verify that the mounting surface on the RV is flat,
that it has solid structural backing where the
fasteners penetrate the surface, and that it will safely
and securely support the awning. Otherwise, the
awning may become unstable and could detach,
bend, or collapse. Failure to obey this warning
could result in death or serious injury.
