Note: sorry about the pics... rookie mistake!
Hey All, just thought I would share my initial experience with a Carefree of Colorado awning. When I was looking, I didn't really see any on the site or any comments. I haven't camped with it... just sat underneath it in the driveway.
Its a manual box awning, aluminum, 26#, 8'x6.5'. I was considering several options, then found a guy on craigslist who sells them locally (Mass.). A new one of any color is $272. Carefree makes a screen room for it as well, although, after reading some other posts, I think I can make one. There is an awning sleeve(?) in the end, similar to the rail, where awning cord can go. It has both adjustable side supports/rails and adjustable legs, which all fold up into the awning box.
Install was pretty easy, Stan was super helpful with pics of awnings, Eagle frame, etc. I haven't gotten it completely screwed down, its held on by a few screws for a test fit. Looking forward to an actual test though soon.
Grandpa kickin' it under the new awning in the last one!
