The Solera Awning Cradle Support # LC289373 does not come with any of the mounting hardware. When installing the support you will want to know where your backer is (such as a stud in the wall). While the support will not be bearing too much of the load, you will still want to make sure it is attached to a secure surface.

A 1"-2" screw compatible with your backer material will get the job done. I also recommend some butyl tape to seal the bracket.

You can pick up the RV Cable Hatch Installation Kit # 3724195 which includes some screws and butyl tape.

The Solera Awning Cradle Support is also available in black # LC289374.
