Incorrect... you can buy parts direct from Carefree all day long. IN fact, if you have the correct part number, sometimes you can even buy them off of Amazon for much less than the price quoted on the Carefree site.
So the first thing you need to do is identify the exact type of awning you have. By what you've described, it sounds like their Travel'R model. But the way you make sure is by looking for the tag either on the left side of the roller tube itself, or on the underside of the awning canopy. Should look something like this:
It'll have your Part Number... and your Serial Number.
Once you have that, go to the Replacement Parts page of the Carefree website:
https://www.e-carefree.com/ecarefree...vletController
Once there... enter your serial number in the box that I've circled in the screen shot below:
That will tell you what model awning you have. Then go over and click the Replacement Parts link that I've circled here:
After that, scroll down to the part your looking for (replacement arms)... click on that, then select the model of your awning..and finally whether you need the motor-side arm, or the idler-side arm.
Once you select that, you'll see their price for it (it won't be cheap). But that's ok.. click to put it in your cart anyway... then go look at the cart. From that screen, it will show you the PART NUMBER. From there, I highly recommend that you go over to Amazon (or Google), and enter that part number in the search box... and you should see that you can get it for a much lower price.
Case in point: When I had to replace mine, at the time, Carefree wanted around $1,200 for it. I ended up getting it on Amazon for $397, and delivery was FREE.
