Carefree of Colorado 8 ft -- Black Electric Operation Carefree TAJVAPHW Compass Awning Arm Set with Brackets and Switches

Replace or complete your Carefree Compass patio awning with this factory-matched arm set. Designed specifically for straight-sided RVs, this kit bundles the full arm assembly, top mounting brackets, and control switches into one box -- everything needed to restore or upgrade your awning's support hardware.

Factory-Matched Arms for the Carefree Compass Awning

The Carefree Compass awning system is a popular electrically operated patio awning found on many Class A, Class C, and fifth-wheel RVs with flat, straight sidewalls. When arm hardware fails -- whether from road vibration, a mis-retraction event, or simple age -- sourcing a properly matched replacement arm set matters. Using off-spec arms can affect pitch, tension, and the long-term integrity of the awning fabric.

Part number TAJVAPHW (vendor code 01-0658) is Carefree's own arm set for the Compass series, pre-matched to the correct geometry and hardware interface. The set includes the full pair of awning arms, upper wall-mount brackets, and the actuator switches needed for electric deployment and retraction.

Complete Hardware Kit

Includes full arm assembly, top wall brackets, and control switches -- no hunting for separate components.

Adjustable Pitch

Arm pitch is field-adjustable for proper water runoff and fabric tension on your specific coach.

Electric Operation

Designed for motorized Compass awning systems. Switches included for clean integration with existing 12V wiring.

Straight-Side RV Fitment

Engineered for RVs with vertical, flat sidewalls. Not intended for slide-out or curved-wall applications.

What Is Included

  • Full set of Compass-series awning arms (left and right)
  • Upper wall-mount top brackets
  • Electric actuator switches for deployment and retraction
  • Hardware for bracket attachment (as provided by Carefree)
One-Box Solution: Rather than sourcing arms, brackets, and switches separately -- each with its own lead time -- this set consolidates all the critical mechanical and electrical components into a single order. Ideal for dealers, service centers, and capable DIYers alike.

Fitment Notes -- Straight-Sided RVs Only

The TAJVAPHW arm set is designed for RVs where the sidewall is vertical and flat. This is typical of most Class A motorhomes, many Class C coaches, and traditional fifth-wheels. If your RV has a curved radius wall, a slide-out awning application, or an angled fascia, this arm set is not the correct match -- verify your awning model number against Carefree's fitment guide before ordering.

Confirm Your Awning Model: Cross-reference the label on your existing awning roller tube or wall bracket to confirm "Compass" series before ordering. Carefree produces multiple awning families (Fiesta, Travel'r, Altitude) with different arm geometries that are not interchangeable.

Installation Overview

This arm set is intended as a direct replacement for existing Carefree Compass hardware. The top brackets mount to the RV sidewall at the factory hole pattern, and the arms attach to the roller tube assembly at the standard Compass interface points. The included switches wire into the coach's 12V awning circuit. Professional installation is recommended if you are not familiar with awning arm removal and electrical connections.

Maintenance Tip: After installation and before first full deployment, cycle the awning slowly and check arm pitch adjustment. Ensure fabric tension is even across the full width before locking in the pitch setting. Lubricate pivot points annually with a silicone-based lubricant -- avoid petroleum-based greases that can degrade plastic components.
Weight Notice: The complete arm set weighs approximately 60 lbs. Have a second person assist during removal of old hardware and installation of new arms to avoid injury and prevent damage to the RV sidewall or awning roller.

Warranty

Covered by Carefree of Colorado's limited 1-year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship from the date of purchase. Warranty does not cover damage from improper installation, collision, wind events, or operation outside design parameters.

Important Information -- Please Read Before Ordering
  • This arm set is designed exclusively for Carefree Compass series patio awnings on straight-sided RVs. It is not compatible with curved-wall coaches, slide-out awnings, or other Carefree awning families such as Fiesta, Travel'r, or Altitude.
  • Verify your existing awning is a Carefree Compass model before purchasing. Check the label on the roller tube or wall bracket for the series name and model number.
  • Complete set weighs 60 lbs. A second person is required for safe installation. Do not attempt single-person removal or installation of the arm assembly.
  • Electric switch wiring must be connected to a properly fused 12V DC circuit. Incorrect wiring can damage the awning motor or create an electrical hazard.
  • Awning arms are not rated for use during travel or high-wind conditions. Always retract the awning fully before moving the vehicle or when wind exceeds safe operating conditions.
  • This listing includes arms, top brackets, and switches only. The awning roller tube, fabric, and motor assembly are sold separately if replacement is needed.
