You don't have to mount the brackets if you don't want to. I didn't. The
"arms" (more like legs really) just go straight down from the outer corners
of the awning to the ground. The only limitation here is you can't drive
around with your awning up. Pulling the awning out of the case doesn't have
anything to do with these brackets, I'm not sure what you're asking here.
