Hey,
If you have the screen room can you take a picture of what the top piece that slides into the side panels to stiffen them. I think I am missing them this the first time I set it up and all went OK till I tried to figure out what holds the side panels straight at the top. There is a sleeve pocket but I have no idea what goes in there.
My son has our trailer this weekend so I can't post a photo but I can describe the item. The top side panel is supported by a three piece aluminum pole. The pole is spring loaded. Rubber end goes against the side of the trailer and the "pointy" end goes into the hole in the metal awning tube. The awning has to be fully extended so that the hole in the awning tube is facing the trailer.
Rick thanks for the link that would have helped a little when me and the GF were playing what goes where and how lol. We got it figured out and put up and then tried to figure out what held the top of the sides straight etc. Davescape gave a good enough description so I know about what they look like ( shockcorded tent pole type thing) . For the record I have been all over and through every compartment etc since I have had it and would have noticed them tucked in some place. I painted under the bed and wired/ rewired a bunch under there and both bench seats etc and did a deep clean I would have found them. With luck CPA has them if not I will call ETI and order them for hey are closed today .
