Need Info on awning ‘08 RSB
Posted: Wed Jul 19, 2023 5:48 am
We have a 2008 27’ RSB. Never had an awning. The lower factory bent brackets for awning , specific to the BF curved body, were discontinued several years ago. I happened to see an earlier BF model recently with awning, and have decided to just modify a new set of brackets myself. Cut & weld. Dealer prefer not to install as they don’t have the experience with BF, plus with my modification, they don’t take on any liability. However, they were very helpful. What I need to know is where on the body the awning is secured at the top. Both height, or distance from top seam, width ( center to center distance of brackets) and how far from the vertical seam. I’d like to go for a full width awning, approximately 16 ft.Details on lower mounting point would also be helpful.
If you have an awning on your RSB of 2008 or similar vintage, I’d greatly appreciate any pictures and measurements of the mounting points, and any other info you may have, Dealer recommended going with just a manual awning, mainly due to mounting and how current units are configured. But I think if you have an automatic or manual, it will tell me where the correct BF mounting points are.
Thanks in advance for the help. I’d be happy to share my modification and install experience once done. I’ll need to get an aluminum spool gun for my welder, so I may be able to modify some brackets in future if there is anyone out there in my situation needing them.
