OK, I get the dumba$$ of the day award! I just picked up my Cyclone from the shop, getting the rear awning LED fixed (finally!). They did a great job. I picked it up after work and really hate having the trailer sit on the street overnight. I have RV parking on the side of the house. I told the wife that we would put it away when I got home, trying to beat the dark. Well, I get home and she is in the shower. No prob. I have been practicing backing into a loading dock (for my noncommercial class A) and have it down quite well. I can do this alone.
Well, all was going quite great until....I heard what sounded like I ran over a plastic bucket. I had been in and out of the truck multiple times to check clearance and obstructions. I never remembered a bucket being in the way. I get out and walk around. Nope, no bucket. But there was a nice dent and scratch on the awning frame! Yes, the awning that has never work and was finally fixed a few hours earlier. How in the heck did I clip the wall????? Oh well. I pulled out and parked on the street. I guess I should not try backing into the spot alone again.
I am pretty sure the awning will still work fine, but aesthetically I hate it. Every time I walk by it, I will be reminded of my stupid mistake. I was so mad at myself, I walked inside and wife had dinner ready. I sat down and ate it. I tried not being a downer and really did not want to ruin her evening. So, she still does not know about it. I am sure she will see it this morning while she is outside working. I will deal with that call later.
Does anyone know if the main post that is attached to the trailer can be replaced without replacing the entire awning? This is a Carefree Travel'r, I think.
Thanks,
Jeff
