Just got my 'recycled' EZ-AWN mounted and thought I'd post these pics since there doesn't seem to be a lot of info floating around about these old units.
I had to fabricate the brackets and shorten the tube and fabric to fit my trailer.
also ended up pre-loading the springs at about 4 rotations before it seemed to work right.
the awning tube is just under 16'. and now that I've had a chance to use it, I think I may back off to 3 turns each (pre-loading the springs).
I helped a friend replace the fabric on his carefree (70's model) and we tried several different numbers before realizing that it needed to be installed with no tension (when in closed position/up against the camper). it tensioned as we pulled it out, and retracted fine? tried that on this EZ-Awn first but it needed help gettting back to the closed position with a nice tight roll.
I used the drops for an inside sleeve to re-enforce the tube. it was cut in the center and had to be welded back. long story. happy ending.
show me a picture of what you need (with a ruler or measuring tape and I can probably get you a scrap of just about any size if you think shipping it to UK would be worth it).
