Hi All,
Just getting started here and on my EVC adventures in general.
During my first outing I didn't consider the need to stake my awning and sure enough, although there weren't high winds when I deployed it, a random wind burst came through which ripped my awning out of the body, flipped it over the top of the pop top, and tore it (not the pop top, thankfully). I had to trash the awning. Couldn't believe it, the prior owner had the van and awning for nearly 20 years without issue and I use it once and destroy the awning. Just my style I guess. :-[
Moving forward, I had a local body shop repair the holes in the body and now need to get a replacement awning. I've been looking at the Fiammas but am having a hard time justifying a $1,000 awning purchase. I was perfectly fine with the OEM version, although I didn't get to use it much! I'd be stoked to just stick a OEM one back on there and head out for the summer. I'd be open to any other ideas as well if anyone has any.
Thanks,
Jah

I'm looking for mounting brackets for OEM Sidewinder 2 awning. If you are replacing the OEM Sidewinder 2 awning and its mounting brackets and don't need the old OEM brackets, please let me know.

Yea, sure thing. On the other hand, if you instead decide to part with your awning please let me know :D

Found myself an original Sidewinder II at Pop Top Heaven in Southern California. Perfect condition, $200. I did have to go down there to get it though from Norcal so not too bad of a trip. @Albertr, I scored a pair of mounting brackets and I'll get in touch to send them to you.
