An update on the awning rafters. After being caught in a lengthy, albeit not torrential, rain, I was looking to purchase the Carefree rafters.Yes, they are expensive from some suppliers ($218 @Amazon) and much cheaper from others ($88@ Walmart). However, Carefree currently has them on sale with an BOGO offer. Great deal if you need 2. That's $115 for the pair, no tax and free shipping.
Don't know how long this sale is, but here's the link if interested:
