It doesn't make much sense to make your own when you can get one already fabricated for only $50.00, your time and materials would probably exceed that cost in making your own. You can have one shipped to you from Junction City and have it installed before you could build your own.

Could the deflectors be installed by a right-handed clutz with five thumbs on each hand or should I wait until I get to JC and have them installed by the dealer? >

My awning on the driver's side slide came out on a very windy day in Wyoming when I was coming East last month.

Thanks,

Re traveman100 recommending you buy from CCI and save money.
I had my own made at the local sheet metal shop after unsuccessfully trying to work with the guy in Junction City and did not want to send $100 cash through the mail, nor did he really want to work with me.
I selected 12 gauge stainless steel I think it was, had two three foot sections cut and bent at right angles so I ended up with 3" x 4" by 36" long and put them1" below the top of the slideout. Total cost, including stainless steel machine screws and silicon was $23.49. I used two sections so I could put one in front and one behind the center pull down strap.

Regards and good traveling

One way to solve the awning wind problem at no cost is to slow down in high winds. It works, we have never had a problem with the wind out west however we do not try to do 65 mph under those conditions. 50 mph works well
