No, the forum mounts from back when. I'm sure there are photos or a post of my install floating around. I'm not sure what failed either, the back bracket didn't seem damaged, bolt was intact and nut in place, and I think all the parts were there. The front bracket got twisted as boy wonder noted, and my middle wasn't a bracket but a support. The whole thing was rock solid last time I touched it and visually it wasn't sagging or flopping or anything. It came off the van drip rail, all the bracket-to-awning connections were solid.
Actually... I did have my rear suspension airbags full with no extra load and drove a few miles before pulling off and reducing them to normal. It was rough but nothing like a decent washboard. Might have contributed, but I don't think it was cause.
