I have the Carefree of Colorado Travel'R flat pitched power awning on my 2011 Road Warrior. It has an automatic dump feature that folds the front arm assembly to dump accumulated rain water from the flat pitched roof. Well, recently the dump feature failed to activate and the entire front arm, instead of folding and dumping water, collapsed breaking and bending multiple parts of the arm. Before you ask, there was no wind and only a gentle, steady rain...we were in the RV at the time. I contacted Carefree of Colorado and even sent them photos, per their request, only to be told they no longer manufacture that style arm (? poor design) and my only recourse was to replace both arms with the new "variable pitch arms" at a cost of +/- $700. Seems like a manufacturing defect but they offered no assistance nor would they sell the parts directly to me. Now, I usually don't slam the makers of products we have on these rigs, but I have to bite my tongue over Carefree's product and especially their customer service. Does anyone know of a salvage parts dealer that might have the part I need.
