Mine have had the brackets bent open more times than I can remember because the DOWN DRAFT poles were not in place and a huge DOWN DRAFT occurred. Down draft hell, it was a hurricane force down draft. Don't know where you all live but I've had this happen just about everywhere I have been and if you've been following my adventures you'd know me & my bus have been in lots of places throughout Canada, USA and Mexico ! The down draft poles should not be optional and should be put up just before the down draft starts ! Put a sign on the side of the bus !
