Is it possible to detach the front awning?

The front awning is the front door, so no you cannot detach it. It can be rolled up, or set up as a canopy, but can not be detached.

When you take the poles down that hold the awning up, the awning becomes the front flap of the tent that is zipped closed it is not removable

Probably. The mounting devices are made of cast iron and would seem to support the awning even if it were only mounted onto posts.

Nope. However if you really do want to detach it, I'd recommend a heavy pair of scissors. Fixing it back would require glue I suppose.

Depending how high it is, it should be ok for you. Measure the height of your awning. It states how high (the carefree) is. Go from there.

Not easily. They extend for the entire length of the chassis, but are held on by (two) screws. It looks like it should be possible to remove the screws and the side plates, but I haven't tried it yet. Don't know if there's a chassis cover under the plates.

The simple answer is, it's pretty flexible in attachment. You need to find a place where you can get two (minimum) or three (preferable) bolts into. The back of the awning is long piece of stiff aluminum with two channels in it. Bolts heads go into the channels and slide up and down the length of it. The bolt need something to go through something, anything, to be bolted on. The bolts were too short for my use so I went to ACE Hardware and found longer ones. I had to drill holes into my rack and then just put the bolts through and tightened them down and done. One way to do it is to buy a long piece of aluminum angle iron and attach that to the racks and then the awning to the aluminum angle. It's a very well made and durable awning. After the first few times it's fast and simple to get up and down. Like all awnings, it can't take much wind.

They came with the awning but I recycled them once I had it installed. It's pretty straight forward. Just take careful note of where the cutouts are in the various pieces that allow them to fit together.

Not that I can tell. I thought about that too so they would be facing inward. But it came as one piece and I don't see anyway to detach it.

Yes, you can do only the front. I would recommend a quick strut assembly, they are much easier and will not take as long. If you buy just the strut you will need a coil spring compressor to change the coil spring and mounts.

I agree. The side rails come as part of the main frame. There is no way of taking one off.

Ellen, I installed 2 6' black iron pipes on my deck where the front of the awning ends. I attached them to the deck with flanges and put a PVC T on the top. I added industrial strength velcro on the T and the front of the Awning. I also have 7 mounts holding the awning at it's anchor point. The tubing they made this unit with is sub standard for the weight it has to hold. If I could upload a picture for you I would but don't see anywhere here to do so. motorhogman at yahoo if you want to email me and I'll send you some pics of my modifications.

Yes, but only where the studs are (the siding in and by itself is not structurally adequate to support the weight of the awning). You will need to buy your own lag bolts to anchor the brackets into the siding/stud assembly. I am not happy with this product. It sags in the middle a lot. Hope this helps...

If the fabric top is removed, it would still leave the peak and metal frame / strut assembly in place. However, I am not sure it can be removed and still be functional.

It's possible to detach the frame. The construction is pretty inexpensive, so it probably wouldn't be too difficult. Although, if you take it out I wouldn't expect to be able to put it back. The frame when I received it was actually cracked, so I had to repair it just to avoid the hassle of returning for the low cost.

There are two bolts at either end that you loosen and then adjust the bolt with the plastic caps on it to raise or lower the entire awning. This was still no enough adjustment for me so I made some custom mounts with about a 30 degree pitch to them out of 2 x 4 stock and that fixed the issue.

haven't tried, probably if you take it all apart but by design you can't Just detach it.

I am sorry, I have only had the awning up for about a month. I wish I could help more.
