Carefree of Colorado 12V Electric Power Adjustable Pitch Carefree OVJVAPHW Travel'r 12V Electric Awning Arm Set -- Both Arms -- Black -- 8' Extension

Convert a compatible manual RV patio awning to convenient push-button 12-volt operation. Six instant pitch settings on each arm let you dial in shade angle and rain runoff at every site -- no tools required.

Overview: Push-Button Shade Without Replacing Your Entire Awning

The Carefree of Colorado OVJVAPHW Travel'r arm set is a complete two-arm 12-volt electric replacement for compatible manual awning arms on travel trailers, fifth-wheels, and motorhomes. Both the driver-side and passenger-side arms are included -- everything you need to motorize the arm assembly on a compatible roller.

Each arm carries an electric motor and wiring harness integrated into the arm body, eliminating the hand crank and allowing one-button deployment and retraction from inside the RV or via a wall-mounted switch. The arms self-level during retraction so the roller closes evenly without manual adjustment.

The adjustable pitch feature sets this model apart from fixed-angle arms. Six detented positions on each arm let you slope the fabric forward for rain runoff or flatten it for maximum shade -- and you can change the angle even after the awning is deployed.

6 Pitch Settings

Six detented pitch positions on each arm let you set the fabric slope for shade or rain runoff -- adjustable even while deployed, without tools.

Self-Leveling Retraction

The integrated motor control automatically levels both arms during retraction, ensuring even roller closure and protecting the fabric edge.

8-Foot Extension

Arms extend to 8 feet, matching the reach of full-size patio awnings on most Class A, Class C, fifth-wheel, and travel trailer sidewalls.

Black Powder-Coat Finish

Weather-resistant black finish resists UV fading and corrosion. Matches standard black RV awning hardware and trim.

What Is Included

  • One (1) driver-side electric awning arm -- black
  • One (1) passenger-side electric awning arm -- black
  • Integrated 12V motor and wiring harness in each arm
  • Hardware and mounting fasteners for arm-to-roller and arm-to-sidewall attachment

Not included: in-cab switch or rocker switch panel, wiring from coach battery to arms, and the roller/fabric assembly. This is an arm set only -- your existing compatible roller and fabric remain in place.

Compatibility -- What Roller Assemblies These Arms Fit

The OVJVAPHW arm set is designed to work with compatible Carefree of Colorado Travel'r roller assemblies as well as select A&E / Dometic and Solera / Lippert roller tubes that share the Carefree arm-mount interface. Confirm your roller end-cap profile and arm pivot-bracket hole pattern before ordering.

  • Compatible: Carefree Travel'r series roller assemblies
  • Compatible: Select A&E (Dometic) roller assemblies with matching arm pivot mount
  • Compatible: Select Solera (Lippert) roller assemblies with matching arm pivot mount
  • Not a universal fit -- verify end-cap style and arm-bracket bolt pattern on your existing roller before ordering

Wiring and Switch Requirements

These arms require a 12V DC power feed from your coach electrical system and a compatible momentary rocker switch or Carefree wall control. The wiring run from the battery/fuse block to the arms and the switch are not included. Use appropriately rated wire gauge for your run length -- Carefree typically specifies a minimum of 14 AWG for runs up to 20 feet. Install an inline fuse (typically 20A) at the power source. If you are replacing existing Carefree electric arms, the existing wiring harness may be reusable -- inspect for condition before reuse.

Maintenance Tips for Long Arm Life

  • Lubricate arm pivot points and rafter tubes annually with a silicone-based lubricant -- avoid petroleum products that can degrade seals.
  • Retract the awning fully before driving or during winds above 25 mph to prevent arm stress and fabric tears.
  • Inspect wiring harness connections at the arm head and at the roller end annually for corrosion or chafe.
  • After winter storage, cycle the arms fully open and closed before the season to verify motor function and even leveling.
  • Clean arm extrusions with mild soap and water -- avoid abrasive cleaners on the powder-coat finish.

Important Information -- Read Before Ordering

  • Arm set only: This listing includes both electric arms (driver and passenger side). No roller tube, fabric, wall switch, or coach wiring is included.
  • Verify roller compatibility before ordering: These arms are designed for Carefree Travel'r roller end-cap profiles. Confirm your roller brand, model, and arm-pivot bolt pattern. Not a drop-in fit for all RV awning brands.
  • 12V DC only: Do not connect to 24V systems or AC power. Incorrect voltage will damage the integrated motors and voids any manufacturer warranty.
  • Wind advisory: Retract the awning fully in winds exceeding 25 mph or when leaving your campsite unattended. These arms are not rated for storm or high-wind conditions while deployed.
  • Professional installation recommended: Running 12V wiring through the RV sidewall to the arms requires basic automotive/RV electrical skills. If you are not confident in the wiring process, have a qualified RV service technician complete the installation.
  • Do not use to replace awning arms of a different extension length without confirming that the 8-foot extension matches your existing roller tube and fabric width.
