A cracked, frayed, or missing pull strap makes operating your RV window awning frustrating and can leave the awning unsecured while driving or in wind. The Carefree of Colorado 901012 is the correct OEM-style replacement strap to restore smooth, one-hand extension and retraction of your window awning. At 27 inches, it gives you plenty of reach to open and close the awning from ground level without straining.
Window awnings on RVs take daily abuse -- UV exposure, road vibration, and repeated use cause pull straps to crack, stretch, or break entirely. The 901012 strap is designed to match the original Carefree hardware and installation points, making this a straightforward swap rather than a fabrication project. It ships with the mounting hardware you need so you are not hunting for screws or clips separately.
Made in the USA and backed by Carefree's limited 1-year manufacturer warranty, this strap is built for the same outdoor environment as your awning. The black color blends cleanly with most awning arms and RV sidewall finishes.
Engineered to Carefree of Colorado specifications for a correct, rattle-free attachment on compatible window awnings.
Comes with the mounting hardware needed for installation -- no separate trip to the hardware store required.
Designed to work with Carefree window awnings and reported to fit most other RV window awning brands that use a standard pull-strap anchor point.
Manufactured domestically by Carefree of Colorado, a leading OEM supplier of RV awning systems and components since 1971.
No special tools required. Detach the old strap at the anchor point, remove the old hardware, install the new strap using the included fasteners, and tension to your preference. Most owners complete this repair in under 15 minutes.
Part 901012 is the Carefree of Colorado standard 27-inch window awning pull strap. It is most commonly found on Carefree-brand slide-topper and window awning systems. If your existing strap is a different length, measure your old strap before ordering to confirm this 27-inch version is the correct replacement for your awning model.
Inspect your window awning pull strap at least once per season for UV cracking, fraying near the anchor eyelet, or stiffness. Replacing a worn strap proactively is far easier than dealing with a strap that breaks mid-trip. A light wipe-down with a UV protectant spray can extend strap life between replacements.
Always retract and latch your window awning before moving the vehicle. Use the pull strap to fully close the awning and confirm the latch is engaged. An unsecured window awning can sustain damage or cause damage to other vehicles at highway speeds.
