Day 41: Awning Issues

The awning on our RV automatically retracts when the winds are too high, so it has been coming in each evening. Not that the weather has been bad, but the winds just pick up here in the valley in the late afternoons. Anyway, Glenn noticed that when it came in yesterday, it wound up just a bit crooked. Well, those of you who know Glenn know that would not do! LOL. So he put it back out to see what was going on. Little did we know that that was not a good idea. So Jerry, our backdoor neighbor, came by to help him and they messed with it most of the afternoon.
We had plans to go to a Mexican Restaurant here in Gold Hill with another neighbor, Steve, so they did what they could until we could get a part for it.

So, today we looked for the part. One RV place quoted us over $200, but that was for a complete arm replacement. Another quoted $80, but that was also for much more than the small piece we needed. We opted for neither and came back to the camp. I went to the pool (no pictures of that!) while Glenn and the neighbor worked on it. It is now working, but still needs something.???
