Power Over the Door Awning 56" Complete Assembly

[Liv4weekends]

My over door awning on 2008 Winnebago Journey has failed to retract, considered not repairable by shop. Can anyone refer me to where I can buy a new whole assembly? I've purchased 2 from an rv salvage, of which 1 damaged in shipping, 1 total junk. Found a new Carefree Colorado thru Ebay, seller took my money and disappeared. Ebay refunded me, but the 1st 2 cost over $100 to ship back. My original is a Dometic Oasis Elite. I don't expect to find original canvas of black cherry, just need to replace. I have disconnected power line and removed awning. I can install a new one. Truly appreciate any source or assistance. I can't afford to get ripped off any further.

If you don't want to order from your local RV dealer, i would check out Carefree of Colorado at https://www.carefreeofcolorado.com and order directly from them. They are a great company and make their awnings here in Broomfield, Colorado.

I'm sorry I did not find your post until today, but I may have good news. Just hop over to this thread on IRV2 and you will find everything I did to fix my A&E AWNINGS MODEL 974, Manufactured by Fiamma.

And just in case this link no long works in the future, I have attached a .pdf for reference.

Note: This fix works if your motor spins and no longer engages the "D" shape (Pot metal) female end that stripped-out and is now a "circle".

Good luck. Several people have said they fixed their awning in one afternoon. And once you do it, I would say it's a 2-hour job.

Also, I now understand you can get parts, but I don't have the confirmed. I repaired my awning 3 years ago when there was a parts shortage.
