Keep your RV awning arm operating smoothly with this genuine OEM replacement brace slider assembly from Carefree of Colorado. Designed specifically for Carefree Spirit, Fiesta, Simplicity, and Pioneer Straight Arm awnings, this compact hardware kit restores the sliding function of the arm brace so your awning deploys and retracts without binding or slop.
The arm brace slider is the small but critical component that allows the awning arm brace to travel along its channel as the awning opens and closes. Over time, UV exposure, road vibration, and normal wear can crack the slider body, lose the retaining clip, or deform the pin -- leaving the arm loose, rattling, or completely unable to lock into position.
Carefree part number R00405 is the direct OEM replacement. It ships as a complete sub-assembly with everything needed to restore the original function: the slider body, the retention pin, and the spring clip that keeps it all together. No fabricating missing hardware, no hunting for a pin that fits -- everything comes in one kit.
Engineered to Carefree factory specs for a drop-in replacement with no modification required on compatible awning models.
Includes the brace slider body, retention pin, and spring clip -- all three pieces needed for a full repair.
Manufactured domestically by Carefree of Colorado, the leading name in RV awning systems for over 50 years.
At just 0.1 lb and roughly 2 inches long, this is an easy part to keep on hand as a spare for extended trips.
The R00405 slider assembly is designed for Carefree straight-arm style awnings. Confirm your awning model before ordering:
Replacing the arm brace slider is typically a straightforward field repair. The awning arm brace must be retracted or supported before removing the old slider. The pin and clip secure the slider into the brace channel -- remove the clip first, slide out the pin, and the worn slider body can be pulled free. Reverse the process to install the new assembly.
This part is backed by a limited 1-year manufacturer warranty from Carefree of Colorado against defects in materials and workmanship.
