A while back some of us on here were questioning the center brackets on the Thule awning, but I can't remember which thread it was on, so I'll start a new thread just dealing with that question.
On the Thule awning on our Pods the brackets in the center that you lock the bottom ends of the support rods under when getting ready to put the awning away have keyhole slots in them. I discovered that you can remove the support rods on the ends of the awning by turning them and pulling them out and you can then insert them in the center brackets. Everyone was wondering "why"???? There appears to be no reason for it and having two support rods in the center of the awning and none on the end made no sense. A call to the dealer gained nothing as nobody in the shop had a clue. A call to Forest River had no answer. A call to Thule USA told me I'd have to go to the Manufacturer in Sweden. An email to them said I'd have to contact Thule USA because they are made to their specs. See the circle? Finally one of the guys at Thule in Sweden got hold of one of the engineers (after weeks of emails and waiting and sending pictures, etc) and today I got this answer:
