Wow, you are moving right along! Great job!!!
Looking good.
Just trying to help as you learn your way through this. Your video stopped before the awning was fully braced in place and don't know if you know, there should be a bar that creates the top of the triangle to keep the awning from collapsing under wind against the trailer. Also it is not recommend you unhook the bottom and have the leg standing up on the ground under the awning tube. Keep the lower arm connected to the camper. A good number of campers tried this and the wind caught it and up and over the camper the awning goes. Several of my camper friends have stories to tell about this. It all happens in about 20 seconds when a high wind comes through.
See here. While this is a newer awning, yours should still have a top bar that goes from the roof to the awning tube. We also hold ours down to the ground as this is a 21 foot long awning. The bigger they get the more the wind issue happens quicker. By tying it down, it gives us a little time to get to it to put the awning up if we get caught in a quick moving storm.
You are doing great on your restore. Looking forward to the next work up date. That stove looks amazing!
Thanks for sharing
John
