So My barth has never had an awning on it. Although it does have the upper awning rail from the factory. So I was able to get a awning for nothing from a neighbor of my grandparents. It is an older awning but in great shape and the perfect size.
So here is my problem, While removing one of the upper brackets (in pouring down rain) I got in a little bit of a hurry and broke off the two ears on the top of it with the hole to mount it. I cant find any manufacture marks or labels anywhere.
So has anybody seen a awning bracket like this before? If so do you know what brand or even a possible supplier of such bracket?
I am throwing this out here before I goto the local metal shop and see if they can fabricate a new one. I already went to a local rv shop and they have never seen it before.

Left side of upper bracket


Looking strait at bracket The two ears are at the top of the bracket where it has a slight angle in now. The two holes you see there now were not used


Right side

If you have the pieces that broke off just take them into the shop and they should be able to just tig weld the pieces back on. That should be a lot cheap than paying per hour for custom fab work.

Another idea would be to contact the manufacture of the coach that it was previously on. It may be an original equipement item. So then they could give you a lead to a new one.

Good luck
