When a cracked, bent, or missing top mounting bracket leaves your patio awning arm loose or unstable, this OEM-replacement bracket restores a solid, factory-correct attachment to your RV sidewall. Designed specifically for Carefree Spirit FX, Fiesta, and Simplicity roll-up awning systems, part 901018 is a true drop-in fix that requires no drilling -- just a pop-rivet gun and the included rivet.
The top awning mounting bracket is the critical interface between your awning arm and the RV sidewall. Over time, UV exposure, road vibration, and weather cycling can crack the bracket body or shear the rivet that holds it in place. A loose arm doesn't just rattle -- it puts lateral stress on the roller tube and fabric, shortening awning life and creating a wind-catch hazard.
Carefree part 901018 replaces the bracket on either the front or rear awning arm. At under a pound, installation is a quick job for one person with a pop-rivet gun. The same bracket is available in white as part 901018W -- choose the color that matches your RV's sidewall trim.
One bracket fits both the front and rear awning arm positions on compatible awning models.
Designed for Carefree BN3N4 and AN3N4 manual awning arms -- no modification or adapters needed.
Includes one (1) mounting bracket and one (1) rivet -- everything needed for a single-arm installation.
Manufactured by Carefree of Colorado in the USA with a 1-year limited manufacturer warranty.
This bracket is confirmed to fit the following Carefree of Colorado roll-up patio awning product families:
Arm compatibility is based on the BN3N4 and AN3N4 Carefree manual awning arm series. If you are unsure which arm style your awning uses, check the label on the existing arm or the awning's original installation paperwork for the arm part number.
Replacing the top awning bracket is a straightforward task. You will need a pop-rivet gun (not included) to secure the bracket to the awning arm. No special skills or extensive disassembly of the awning are required.
