Awning Part Missing, No Longer Made
 Login now/Join our community

I contacted carefree of Colorado about my fiesta awning. They said the lower section of the arm I'm looking for is no longer made. They say I need to replace one or both arms. I haven't rolled out the awning to see if the whole thing even works. I think it would look weird with one new arm in a different color and one old aluminum arm. I am wondering if I'd be better off just buying a new awning entirely. Or if anyone knows where to get old awning parts. I'm sure there's a broken awning with that part sitting somewhere ready to be junked.

That would be great! The pictures in the first post are of both arms. One has the missing lower section. It's the one without the red bungee cord.

I have not. I've scoured eBay. If I don't find it soon I guess I'll just bite the bullet and buy a new awning. They are surprisingly pricey.

Hi Matt, I have an inner leg off a Carefree Sunfree. Same size as the Fiesta and will work. The difference is it has vertical mold lines up and down the leg where yours is smooth. Also, the bottom foot has a bolt instead of a pin. We are asking $35.00 plus shipping. We also have a brand new set of Fiesta arms in satin for $250.00. Thanks Loren.

I just went out and did some more digging. I have an exact match for you. It is in good condition. Let me know. Thanks

Awesome. I bought it from someone who said a bunch of hippies were intending to take it to Oregon and the part supposedly fell off going down the road and the driver just left it ... nice.

But there is a rusty wire tied to the clip on the body you can see in the picture earlier in this discussion. I wonder if that clip is bad in some way. Hopefully the bad part they had wired on is part of the part you're sending me. Does that part include the black base? The metal clip?

I'll send you my phone and email via private message so I don't get spammed by bots.
