I have had my Cali for 18 months and only used the awning about 10 times, always carefully and no issues with excessive wind etc.
So, recently I noticed that the rear bracket had come apart ( both pot rivets had disappeared). The awning still seemed fairly secure, but my my local dealer ( who supplied the van), said the only reason for the bracket failing would be wind damage and therefore refuses to fix it under guarantee. In fact, they removed it, saying it wasn't safe and there was some damage to the casing from the added strain on the front bracket. Theit solution, was "buy a new awning at £700 +_".
I am not very happy, has anyone else experienced problems with the rivets holding the brackets together ?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
