I think the biggest stress would not be from the weight of the awning but the wind hitting the awning when opened up. I am a sailor and there is a lot of pull on even a small sail. And should never have a awning extended during a windy day or storm.

+1 on the wind loading. More of a worry than the weight of the awning itself for me.

Reading through, I’m struck by how little is made of the keder rail that model year had, equipped from the factory. It is how the R-Dome is attached and used by many to attach awnings. There were a number of ytubers posting afterwards how to make and install one.
