How To Fix Bent Awning Arm on Forest River XLR Nitro

Question:

I have a 2023 XLR Nitro 351 and the rear side awning was closing with the back door open causing the lag bolts to pull out. We replaced the bolts, but the arm doesn’t seal all the way up when retracted. It looks like the inner arm has more of a bend than its counterpart. Can I replace just the inner arm?

The only sections of the awnings arms which you can replace are the pitch arms, anything else and you'd need an entire new arm. I'm not sure what size you have as we have no way to look this up but if you have 69" long support arms for example then you'd need the Replacement Pitch Arm part # LC375994 or the Replacement Support Arm Assembly part # LC281154.

If you can let me know exactly what size arms you have and what part is damaged, I'd be glad to confirm the correct parts for you.
