The bracket system includes a generally L-shaped mounting bracket for supporting the awning housing, bracket clamps for securing the housing to the mounting bracket, and an adaptor bracket for supporting the mounting bracket on a variety of curved sloping surfaces such as exterior walls of recreational vehicles. The bracket clamp engages with the mounting bracket by means of a dovetail mortise and tenon joint while the awning housing is secured to the mounting bracket and bracket clamp by tongue and groove engagement. The mounting bracket is supported on the adaptor bracket by a keyhole mortise and tenon joint in cooperation with a tongue and groove joint. The adaptor bracket is designed to provide a plurality of mounting positions in order to accomodate the mounting bracket to a wide variety of curved walls or surfaces on recreational vehicles.
