Good morning daily

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Bernie,

I'm an ideas man.... wouldn't it be easier to just place the old and new arms next to each other on the ground and check the distances.

If a bottom mount changes height, then just adjust the leg when it's lying on the ground. Once your happy, trim the top if needed.

Remember, measure twice, cut once. (or cut twice if there are two legs.... but that involves measuring four times.)

I have no real idea what the side of your MH looks like but I'm presuming your perseved problem is to do with locating the legs where there are no bin doors or other obstructions.
I'm lucky with mine.
If the length from the top (fixed) to the lowest position possible is very 'short' then if you wish to free stand your awning you may find the legs too short.
Bernie do you have a full photo of that side of the bus? From front to back & ground to sail track height?
Also the arms that extend out across the top of the open awning will be shorter. (you'll need to cut that too)

I was a bit puzzled when installing mine - I was unsure about how the different leg footings would work. In the end, it's all ok. Providing the barrel is level and the legs vertical, everything works.
