Voiding Warranties For The Better! - XTM 270° Awning Upgrade - In-depth instruction

2 years ago, I decided to refresh the awning after it broke when flipping over the car.
At the time, I was working at Alspec Aluminium, so it was cheaper to upgrade the arms rather than throw it away, so here we are.

Thanks for the video Troy. I have the same awning, and even though I had watched your first video about it before I first used mine, I still made the dumb mistake of setting it up and without putting guy lines down. In short, I had the same thing happen to mine with an unexpected gust of wind on an otherwise calm day. 🤦🏽‍♀️
I want to modify mine the way you have but I wanted to know if you had any ideas about doing so while keeping the fold down legs somehow. I loved that feature over separate legs, which is what prompted me to get this particular awning in the first place.
Can you think of a way to replace the broken poles but attach the legs in a different way so as to keep them fold down? Thanks again 😊

Honestly, I never thought about it, I'm definitely going to sus that idea out!
Good idea.
