For reference it's a 2016 Fuzion 420. Two side awnings. Both power. This is the larger front one. Made by Carefree of Colorado.
Lucky I was using the LCI remote and standing outside when I saw the split.
The awning is 3 arms with a gas strut support. Motors are on the ends. The center arm which when folded in, rest inside of the outlet arm. This center one also is the mounting point for the aforementioned gas strut. It's aluminum and u-shaped. There's a intentional notch on one part so it clears hardware when folded in. At this weaker point, there is stress cracks on both sides of the U.
It's so bad that I am not risking putting it back out.
I will take pics tomorrow of it. I work nights so just noticed it before work. Didn't have time to take pics.
Has anyone had this issue??
Carefree seems like junk.
The main awning LED strip has a short as of a week ago and will either work or won't or flickers as I roll it in-out.
The end motors on both awnings wobble as they go in and out.
WTF?
Does Carefree warranty this stuff or Keystone? I'm 2nd owner of this coach
