Carefree of Colorado Model 901000 Made in the USA Carefree of Colorado 901000 Complete RV Awning Tie Down Kit

Keep your awning from becoming a sail in gusty conditions. The Carefree 901000 is a complete, ready-to-install tie down kit designed for Carefree Spirit utility slot roll bars and compatible with virtually any RV awning that accepts universal ground anchors. Everything you need for two anchor points is included in the box -- no sourcing separate hardware.

Anchor Your Awning Before the Wind Decides For You

Wind is the number-one cause of awning damage at campgrounds. A gust that catches an unrestrained awning can bend the arms, tear the fabric, or send the whole assembly into your slide-out. The Carefree 901000 kit addresses this with a ground-anchor-and-strap system that keeps the awning pulled down and tensioned even when breezes pick up.

The kit is sized for two anchor points -- one at each end of the awning -- which is the standard setup for most RV awning lengths. Shock springs in the system absorb sudden load spikes from gusts rather than transmitting that force directly to the roll bar hardware.

Complete Two-Point Kit

Includes hardware for both anchor points: 2 corkscrew anchors, 2 shock springs, 2 straps, and 2 clear storage tubes -- nothing extra to buy.

Utility Slot Storage

The tie down components store inside the utility slot of the Carefree Spirit roll bar, so they travel with the awning and are always on hand when you set up camp.

Shock Spring Buffering

Shock springs absorb gust loads before they stress the awning arms or fabric, reducing the chance of hardware damage during wind events.

Universal Ground Anchor

Corkscrew-style anchors thread into grass, dirt, or soft ground quickly by hand. Compatible with utility slot roll bars or any awning using standard universal tie-down points.

What's in the Box

The 901000 kit ships as a set of two complete anchor assemblies. Each assembly contains one of each component below, giving you two of everything for a full left-and-right installation:

  • 2 x Corkscrew ground anchors
  • 2 x Shock springs (load-absorbing)
  • 2 x Adjustable straps
  • 2 x Clear plastic storage tubes

No additional hardware, stakes, or adapters are required for standard utility slot roll bar installations.

Utility Slot Roll Bar Compatibility
The storage tubes are sized to nest inside the utility slot channel on Carefree Spirit series roll bars. This means your tie downs are always stowed with the awning and ready to deploy the moment you pull into your site -- no digging through storage bays.

Installation Overview

Setup is straightforward and requires no tools for the anchoring step:

  • Extend your awning to the desired position and lower the arms to a slight downward pitch so water runs off.
  • Attach the straps to the awning tie-down loops or arms at each end.
  • Thread the corkscrew anchors into the ground at an outward angle from the awning for better holding power.
  • Connect the shock spring and strap assembly between the awning point and the ground anchor.
  • Tension the straps so the awning is held firmly but not over-stressed.
Universal Compatibility Note
While optimized for Carefree Spirit utility slot roll bars, the corkscrew anchors and straps are standard universal-style hardware. They will work with other brands of RV awning that include external tie-down loops or D-rings on the awning arms.
Wind Conditions Heads-Up
Ground anchors perform best in firm soil or turf. In loose sand, gravel pads, or hardscape campsites, corkscrew anchors may not hold reliably. In high-wind forecasts (sustained winds above 20-25 mph), the safest action is always to retract the awning entirely regardless of tie-down use.
Storage Tip
After use, rinse corkscrew anchors and allow them to dry before sliding them back into the clear storage tubes. This prevents soil and moisture from sitting inside the utility slot channel between camping trips.

Important Information
  • Tie downs are a wind-resistance aid, not a substitute for retracting your awning in sustained high winds or storms. Always retract when winds exceed 20-25 mph sustained or when a storm is approaching.
  • Corkscrew anchors require penetrable ground (grass, turf, firm soil) to hold effectively. They will not anchor reliably in gravel, asphalt, concrete, or very loose sandy soil.
  • Inspect straps, springs, and anchor hardware before each use. Replace any component showing fraying, corrosion, or deformation.
  • Over-tensioning straps can stress awning arms and fabric -- tension should be firm but not extreme.
  • This kit covers two anchor points only. Longer awnings may benefit from a center support arm in addition to these tie downs.
  • Store anchors clean and dry to prevent corrosion and soil buildup inside the roll bar utility slot.
