   No matter what brand of awning or tarpage you have, it should be
restrained in any manner possible.  I have learned my lesson. (Catalina
2500)

  In the same instant our Catalina was launched, a Shady Boy on the Eurovan
parked opposite us suffered the same fate.  They both were reduced to
recycle/landfill material.

  The Catalina contains four telescoping square section aluminum rafters
and legs, all eight pieces were bent, and a couple were even twisted in two.
