Depends on awning make/model/age and the base vehicle type/age.

Del'd. Stick, the, wrong, of, end, the.

No thats a roof mounted one mine fits on the side in these brackets and i wanted to fit it so it would cover the door but the nearest fixing point would be 500 mm behind the front pont of the awning

this might explain it better move front bracket to yelow dot and front of awning would be 500mm in front of bracket to yelow box

blue dot i ment too old for all this technolgy

 

[Sue and Rick]

Buy anothr bracket. Stick it where your blue dot is. Then no holes in the van to fill /seal.

The brackets on the ends are general fitted directly behind the fixed position of the arms as thats were the maximum stress is.
That might help in your decision

I think you may find that the arms foul the door opening if it is further forward

Never even crossed my mind about the door opening thanks
