I have a Fiamma awning on an 02 Roadtrek if we are talking the same thing there are 3 brackets on the side of the RV to attach it to, the center bracket has no fastener hole and the front and rear have 2

small hole. On mine the fastener was a pull rivet, 3/16 if I recall correctly.

Ours is a Roadtrek but I think the same awning.

The awning tilts into the top of the brackets and bottom slides in. We had 3 small sheet metals screws up from the bottom the went through the bottom of the bracket and into the awning to keep it from sliding back out and the awning falling out.

you know I spent over 3 hours removing those 6 bolts, thats probaley why they came up missing so I could avoid fighting it again.
I have lots of rivets most are 1/2" grip also 3 differnt size rivet guns. revits should hold it in place fine the upper hook is doing all the surport.
an if I need to remove drilling should as heck won't be long.
thanks JJrbus

I was thinking about using the self tappers was concerned the shape tip of screw ripping the fabric.

I have a feeling I may need an assistant to place it back on those brackets. I'm gonna have to scrape my plan on relocating the brackets outward.

remember I wanted to install a roof rack bolted to the roofs dip rail.

now I maybe able to slide the whole awning forward a tad to have enough room for the roof rack brackets. thanks Booster

Both Pleasure-Way and Fiamma are very responsive. I’d call PW if it is the bolts mounting the awning to the van or Fiamma (in Orlando) if it is part of the awning.
