Default Awning support pole

Purchased 1992 roadtrek in fall and the previous owner did not give me any indications on the unit as far as what needs to be done - everything
I pulled out the awning to clean and one of the support poles is missing -the one that attaches to side of van and awning and removes and stores
I am located in windsor, ontario and have no idea as to where to go to purchase one or if possible someone in this area might have one for sale
I have 3 windows above that leak
When hose is attached the water bubbles up ,through floor
Windshield wipers were VERY intermittent and now not at all
Tires ready to explode and yet it supposedly passed the safety
And on and on - I just love the roadtrek and working on daily but I am no mech. And so many things to be worked on it and i know nothing about
He was well aware I am alone so feel he should have given me some idea as to what was in store
Thanks for any help on the awning pole - I would gladly cross the border to pick up

Is it a Fiamma awning? Contact Fiamma US for parts...

It's 25 years old, so of course stuff will need to be fixed. Look for a mobile RV tech who can come to your place, as generally they are better at this stuff than big dealerships.

Mostly I'd be concerned about those tires. If they look nasty, or are more than 7 years old or so, please replace them. A blown tire can be really dangerous.

fiamma parts can be much less expensive at gowesty

you'll need to figure out the model and the part number...the fiamma parts I needed (endcaps) were 1/2 price at go westy compared to fiamma

you may want to figure out a USA shipping address

Default fiamma parts

I have a fiamma support pole that I don't need. If you could post or send me a photo of the one you have and they are a match I'll give mine to you for shipping cost, should not be that much. I have a 4 ft. round shipping tube I could put it in.
