Awning parts wanted

Montique · 06-09-2009, 01:22 AM

Hi everybody!
Working on my 74 Argosy 26' trailer. Almost ready for paint. I will post before & after pics soon! I'm getting the awning parts organized for re-assembly. I have a Care-Free 16' awning with curved arms and the roller endcaps have the 3 rivet configuration. No model or serial numbers anywhere so I'm not sure of its age. I've attached two pics of the inside of the arms showing the sliding lock or latch. One of these is missing. Does anyone out there have any parts like this? This latch slides up and down inside the arm. Thanks, Dave

You could try PPL and see if they have anything - if nothing else they might let you know if it's even still available.

Hi Dave. A belated welcome to the forums! Gary is steering you to a good source. They're right at the top searching Google for 'carefree awning parts.'

I'm not sure about parts this age. Carefree is still in business and I've heard that they have the fabric available for their old awnings. Might double check that for accuracy.

Here is the operating manual - http://www.airforums.com/photos/brow...00&userid=6410

Thanks Bob for the manual! Very interesting indeed! I feel much more confidence in moving ahead with fabric replacement.
Thanks to Levon for offering a replacement part!
Great forum and great people!!!
Here is a pic of the 74 Argosy when I found her last fall. Kinda forlorn sitting in that field. When I brought her home my daughters said "Oh look! Daddy has brought home the Wienermobile!" So we now refer to her as the Wienermobile!
Hope she likes her "new look" coming soon!
