The Carefree of Colorado 901019 is the correct OEM-spec replacement lower arm bracket for Spirit FX, Fiesta, Simplicity, and Pioneer manual roll-up RV awnings. When your existing bracket is bent, cracked, or missing, this bolt-on metal bracket restores the stable connection between your awning arm and the side of your RV -- keeping the awning level and secure when fully extended.
The bottom bracket is the anchor point at the base of each awning arm. It attaches the arm to the RV sidewall and prevents the arm from kicking outward or shifting when the awning is deployed. A worn or damaged bracket leads to a wobbly awning that is hard to roll up cleanly and can stress the fabric and roller tube over time.
The 901019 is a direct replacement for the factory bracket on several of Carefree's most popular manual roll-up awning lines. It fits both the front and rear arm positions, so you only need one part number whether you are replacing the road-side or curb-side bracket.
A single bracket design works on both the front and rear awning arm positions -- no need to order separate parts for each side.
Black powder-coated metal build handles outdoor exposure and the mechanical stress of repeated awning deployment and retraction.
Designed for straightforward bolt-on replacement. No special tools or modifications required for a standard swap-out.
Genuine Carefree of Colorado replacement hardware -- exact fit for the compatible awning families listed below.
The 901019 bracket is designed for Carefree of Colorado manual roll-up awning lines including:
If you are unsure which awning model is on your RV, check the label on the end cap of the roller tube or look up your rig's build sheet. The awning model name is typically printed on the end cap.
Mounting screws are sold separately. Use Carefree part 901038C lag screws for a complete installation kit -- available at RV Upgrade Store.
The 901019 installs using lag screws driven into the RV sidewall framing. Before installation, locate the existing pilot holes or solid backing in your sidewall to ensure a secure mount. Torque fasteners snugly but avoid over-driving into aluminum or fiberglass sidewalls.
The two mounting holes on this bracket are spaced 2.5 inches center to center. Verify this matches the existing hole pattern on your sidewall before ordering if you are replacing an in-place bracket without patching old holes.
While the bracket is off, inspect the awning arm pivot pin, travel lock, and rafter for wear. Replacing a single bracket is also an ideal time to lubricate all arm pivot points with a silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation after reinstallation.
This listing includes the bracket only. Order Carefree part 901038C lag screws separately to complete the installation. Using incorrect fastener sizes risks loosening under road vibration.
