I feel your pain. My 2017 GD Solitude's front awning crashed a couple of days ago. Downpour and the top 2 bolts of the front arm pulled completely out of the side wall. Both arms are damaged, waiting on parts. I'm told the arms have been redesigned. I just joined this forum and haven't seen a way to post photos. If I can... I will post photos once repaired, (this week).
