Seems kind of petty, it sort of closes, but no quite. Around $2,000 to replace the aluminum arms on the front and rear of the awning, when it hit the front of the awning, it pushed and bent the rear arm as well. When he backed in, he hit the awning and pushed it back about 2 feet. He also lives in Valencia, CA and the agreed RV repair place we both use is in Valencia, CA as well. They are going to do the repairs. He's going to take it to his insurance co. I was hoping the repair place could massage it and get it to close correctly, but they said it was tweeked and twisted and they couldn't get it to close correctly. Its not that bad, but on the other hand, it wasn't bent before.
IF I do a major trip to Alaska or something, I will look into a spare tire/wheel to bolt onto the ladder and an electric impact wrench, my generator can supply the juice. I can jack it up with the hydraulic levelers.
