Carefree 961501WHT Fiesta White with Matching White Casting Universal Manual RV Awning Arms Set (68"-81" floorline to awning rail)

The arms were an exact match to the Carefree Traveler Awning that we damaged the arms on. Unfortunately Carefree quit making the motion sensor with the three buttons like is on our 2018 Newmar in 2020 or so. In talking with a Carefree technician, I discovered that the motion sensor is in the motor head, secured with double-sided tape. I removed it along with the “phone type” cord that runs down the arm to the coach, and installed it on the new arm. It works almost perfect. For some reason that I’ve yet to determine, the awning begins to retract after it finishes deploying. I stop it, extend it to full out and shut the power switch off for about 20 seconds. When I turn the power switch back on, the awning stays out. The three settings on the wind sensor switch work as before. They should since it’s the same motion sensor.Carefree wants to sell you their new switch and motion sensor. You can go that route. Or you can scarf the old motion sensor from your old motor head and easily install it in your new awning arm.It was relatively simple and straightforward to replace the awning arms on my coach because they were an exact match to the old ones. The only problem I ran into was that a few of the holes in my coach were stripped out because the mounting lag bolts are set into a thin fiberglass wall. So I had to drill and set some new bolts in existing holes in the metal arms. Don’t neglect to use silicone on all the bolt heads and under the awning arms against the coach where the bolts are located.

UPDATEWe have had this awning for awhile now and it has held up nicely. The original review was just giving my husband a hard time but he is very handy and was able to not only fix the arm that came bent but repair it completely himself. He did a good job because he has still left the awning out in high winds lolMy husband was able to repair our awning after a gust of wind took it down. This is the second time we have had to replace our awning because my husband refuses to listen to me when I tell him he should bring it in. With the handy repair man it cost $2,400 but with my husbands doing it himself (completely by himself because I couldn’t help) we only paid for this.BE AWEARThree stars because it came bent. And if there is a bend or crack they are more fragile and can break easily. My husband “fixed” it so will update again if we made a mistake and didn’t return since it was damage. But time will tell. We were in a tight jam and we’re headed on a long trip from south Texas to the pan handle of Oklahoma so we needed to get it taken care of. So we made due.Husbands experience He can wire some things here and there. He suggested to watch a YouTube video on how to do it to make sure you feel comfortable. Or have help on hand. Skill level? Not skilled enough to bring in the awning with high winds and rain. But smart enough to repair it.

First of all, when we received this it was missing the two bottom mounting brackets, the lock for one side was already broken, top piece to one of the arms was broken, no installation instructions, and it is NOT universal. It also arrived late. Being in a pickle and needing this right away my husband had a rig it to work, and we had to go to camp world to spend another $60 on the lower mounting brackets. Getting ahold of Carefree of CO was a NIGHTMARE. When you call them it’s extremely hard to get ahold of someone for one, and once you say you purchased on Amazon oh boy, they transfer you to their “Amazon guy” and he never answers the phone. I left 3 messages before getting a call back and by that time I had already gone to camp world to buy the lower mounting brackets. Now for the “universal fit” claim that they make. This is absolutely not universal. My husband had to drill out a portion of the top so that the canopy roller would attach. I understand this voids whatever warranty they claim to have but we had to do what we had to do. It’s pretty flimsy too so it’ll have to do until we can get a better set. If I could give this 0 stars I would. Do not waste your money or your time—carefree won’t make it right anyway.

We had a bad storm with horrible wind and I couldn't get our awning down by myself before it was ruined. Watched a video on changing and was finished with adjustments in about an hour with 2 people.

Travel'r Arms to replace originals. Some parts bent a little - fixed with pliers. Some mounting holes did not line up with original. New design missing a 'stop' for adj pitch slide arm. No instructions - but they are on Carefree website. Package should absolutely carry warning that arms are under tension - and will spring open when wrap/ties removed. Overall - works and mostly looks like original.

These arms are much better than the original. The ends lock in place so when you tighten the extension arm nut they stay much tighter. I installed myself and they came out awesome.

We bought this to replace the arms for our awning on our trailer.The original arms broke quickly and easily, these in comparison are steel and if great quality.If I had to replace the arms again I would definitely buy from this company.

Items were as described , quick shipping, would buy them again. Everything was there but the instructions which I downloaded off the Carefree web site. I had the old style Manaul arms and upgraded to these power ones.

Product is very weak. It rained last night and I got a 6am wake up call to my awning collapsing. It wasn't even a heavy rain and there was no wind.

We had one damaged arm on our trailer and after looking for used parts decided to order these up. I was very happy to receive and look over the parts. Quality built, package and shipped. Unfortunately they would not work on my trailer so had to return, and am back to looking for used part to use my awing again. If can confirm these are the right arms for you, would have no problem using them!

Perfect fit
