| Description of the problem | Carefree power awning unrolled during travel. The end cap (aluminum cast) broke which allowed the awning arm to extend. There are no manual locks on the power awnings and a motor failure/end cap failure results in awning being deployed. The awning arm extended 8 feet damaging the baggage door; without the arm being attached the awning fabric unrolled and pulled the entire awning off the motorhome. |
