The Carefree of Colorado 901079 is a compact, telescoping pull cane designed to open and close any brand of manual vertical roll-up RV awning. It collapses to a pocket-friendly 12 inches for storage and extends to a full 47 inches so you can reach the awning strap without straining or climbing.
Manual roll-up awnings on RVs, travel trailers, and fifth wheels typically mount high enough that reaching the pull strap by hand is awkward -- especially for shorter campers or anyone with limited mobility. The 901079 gives you a comfortable, non-slip grip at ground level while the extended hook engages the strap at full height. When you're done, it telescopes back down to 12 inches and slips into a toolbox drawer, cabinet, or storage bay without taking up meaningful space.
Unlike fixed-length hooks that clutter your storage space, this retractable design means it stays with the rig permanently without being in the way. Keep one in the compartment nearest your awning and it's always ready when you set up camp.
Retracts to 12" for storage, extends to 47" for full awning reach -- no separate pole needed.
Works with all brands of manual vertical roll-up RV awnings, not just Carefree models.
Weighs only 0.1 lb. Stores in a drawer, toolbox, or glove box without adding bulk.
Manufactured by Carefree of Colorado and backed by a limited 1-year manufacturer warranty.
This pull cane is ideal for any RV owner running a manual roll-up style window or slide awning -- the kind without an automatic or motor-driven mechanism. These awnings are common on older rigs and entry-level travel trailers, and their pull straps are often positioned just out of comfortable reach. The 901079 solves that without a stepstool.
It is equally useful as a replacement for a lost or worn-out cane that came with your awning originally. Many RVers who purchase a used rig discover the pull tool was never included; the 901079 is the correct Carefree replacement and also crosses over to awnings from other manufacturers.
At only 12 inches collapsed and 0.1 lb, this tool fits anywhere:
Because it travels compressed, it won't rattle around or damage other stored items. The telescoping sections lock at full extension so the cane holds its length while you work the awning strap.
