Overview
The Carefree Altitude White Awning Hardware Set is a 12V motorised arm kit that mounts to the awning and extends and retracts the canopy at the touch of a switch. The scissor-action arms are strong enough to be the primary support for the awning, with built-in gas shocks to soak up bumps and a six-position pitch adjustment for shade or rain run-off. The kit includes both left and right arms and suits Carefree Altitude awnings from 10 to 21 ft.
Because the arms are compact in height, this kit is designed for pop-tops and caravans, where a motorised awning gives you instant shade at camp without wrestling with poles and ropes. It suits Australian touring conditions well, from a quick roadside lunch stop to a week-long outback camp. For longer stays, extra ground support is still recommended when the wind picks up. Note that a 12V switch kit is required to operate the arms and is sold separately.
