When your awning no longer rolls up smoothly or stays tensioned the way it should, the spring assembly is almost always the culprit. The Carefree R00924BLK-A is the OEM-spec left hand spring assembly engineered specifically for Spirit, Fiesta, Simplicity, and Full-Timer awnings in the 18 to 25 foot size range -- restoring proper tension and reliable operation with a direct, no-modification install.
Carefree of Colorado awning systems rely on a precisely wound torsion spring to store energy as the awning rolls up and release it smoothly on extension. Over time, springs fatigue, lose tension, or break entirely -- leaving your awning limp, uneven, or impossible to retract without manual effort. The R00924BLK-A replaces that failed component with an exact-fit assembly engineered to Carefree's original specifications.
This is the left hand side spring, which corresponds to the road-side (driver-side) end of the awning on most coach layouts. Confirm your vehicle's awning orientation before ordering -- the left and right assemblies are not interchangeable. A matching right hand spring is available separately if both sides require replacement.
Designed specifically for the left hand (road-side) position. Spring wind direction is handed -- this will not function correctly installed on the right side.
Covers the most common mid-to-large awning lengths in the Spirit, Fiesta, Simplicity, and Full-Timer product lines.
Matches the factory black hardware typical of Carefree awning end caps and roller tube assemblies for a clean, cohesive look.
Manufactured domestically to Carefree's original standards -- not an off-brand substitute. Backed by a limited 1-year warranty.
This spring is designed for the following Carefree of Colorado manual awning product lines in the 18 to 25 foot awning length range:
Awning length is measured as the fabric width, not the overall rail or arm span. Check the label on your awning or your coach's original equipment documentation to confirm the awning series and size before installation.
Standing outside your RV facing the awning as it is mounted to the coach wall, the left hand side is the side to your left. On most RVs, this is the road-side (driver's side) end of the awning. The spring's coil winding direction is specific to each side, so using the wrong hand will result in no tension or reversed operation.
Awning spring replacement on Carefree manual systems is a serviceable DIY task, but the spring is under tension during removal and must be handled carefully. General process for most Spirit, Fiesta, Simplicity, and Full-Timer awnings:
