awnings on washboards roads

[eyeball]

I know driving on washboards is a noisy endeavor. However, my awning seemed to be the biggest culprit. I unrolled it and tightened as best I could, but still rattles. Is this common for all you awning owners? I also feel it's going to rattle itself apart.

And thanks

Mine doesn't rattle at all.

Hmmmm. Interesting. I cranked it as tight as I dared. I feel like taking it off when I'm planning off road trips

I have zero awning rattle.

Zero awning rattle.
Only problem - "rear leg locking bolt loosens up and comes off (30 miles of washboard)
in the cabinet so when I open the awning it falls out. I'm ordering a couple of spares from FWC
just in case.

I should have mentioned I have the Fiamma 35 Pro.

Mine is a F45s and rattles like crazy

Factory installed awning ?

Or installed aftermarket by someone else ?

Are you tightening the small leg knobs that allow you to adjust the legs up and down, before you close the awning up ?

Does anything seem loose or broken inside the awning case ?

I don't think I have ever hear the Fiamma awning rattle ?

Are you sure it is the awning and not something else ?

Just trying to think of anything that it might be ...

Thanks

Installed last year by four wheel. I'll check the leg knobs. I've never used it, but yes we're sure it's the awning.

Thanks
