[QUOTE="Ded Driver, post: 434152, member: 12692"] shiiiieeeet. I bought one of these Kings awnings after seeing so many getting around, & thought ok they cant be too bad. I haven't fitted it yet. 1 thing for people to note is you shouldn't put stainless steel rivets into aluminium. Not so bad inland where they will be mostly dry, but bad news if you live on the coast or visit the beach. With a bit of salt & water the galvanic corrosion will cause the s/s to eat away the aluminium. heavy galv or zincalume coated is the way to go. I think I will be devising a fix for the rivets before I put mine on for this summer. Probably even put a temporary cable tie around each end for good measure when doing long treks. [/QUOTE]
