Credit to Amazon for taking this “junk” back.Many flaws…in order of importance:~ The “cradle” on the top that holds the awning drum has a socket for the pole-pin that is ridiculously flimsy. Instead of a 1/4″ hole in a solid chunk of plastic, this thing has a flimsy “spiderweb” design that failed after 2 uses.~ The tie-down strap is useless. The wind just spools the strap back out of the nonsense that is passed off as a clamp. Pointless…to the degree that a mild puff of wind pulled the strap, the awning lifted off the pole, and the pole hit my wife on the head!~ The locking mechanism to set the length of the poles works well, but fundamentally it’s a 1/4″x20 nut with a plastic knob just pushed onto it. In this case, the nut should be molded into the knob, but it’s just a press fit. One knob fell off on the first use. Yes, I can put it back, but the lightweight plastic knob can blow away easily. I had to chase mine down…on day one!~ After just two weekends, the padding in the cradle in which the awning drum rests was coming off.Visually, this thing is brilliant in its design, but the execution is dreadful. And given that a VERY expensive awning is depending on this thing to reinforce it in modest wind, this poor execution is more of a hazard than a help. Add insult to injury with the price of this thing, and I’m a VERY unhappy camper.Carefree should be ashamed of putting such a ridiculous contraption on the market.

This is a must for the carefree electric awning.

We love full time in our RV. I have always hated having to bring the awning in and out based on the wind. These have been a great addition to our list of RV products.At first they appear a little flimsy, so I waited to review until they had gone through a couple thunder storms. I am really impressed with how well they have work. No more hearing my awning bouncing up and down and running to get it put in. I love the design for securing the stability strap over the awnings.(see photo) Simple, but really works well.The down sides. The straps they include have a very weak buckle system. They would get loose every couple days. I ended up tying a knot in it to keep it tight. (See pic) for the price they could at least include a ratcheting strap or a better buckle system. The stakes that come are not great if you are in loose soil. I ended up using my extra twist in stakes. So consider ordering some twist on stakes to upgrade if you are going to be in loose or sandy soils.Overall I’m very happy with the product. All the shortcomings are easy to overcome. I would recommend to anyone wanting to be able to leave their awnings out even in windy conditions.

The idea is great and it appeared to be a quality product when I opened it, but it broke not long after I purchased it. A tension adjustment knob broke off. Product does not work without it.

Our awnings don’t come with a lot of support so previously any breeze I was bringing the awnings in. I purchased these and it was absolutely great to be able to use our awnings this past weekend. Wouldn’t have been able to use without them. I bought this set for the shorter awning but had to buy a different set that costs more than double these are because these are not tall enough for 13.5 foot trailers. I even used blocks on these so they weren’t extended as far and were a lot more stable. Work great. So nice to be able to use our awnings now. If you’re on the fence purchase these. I did take a 6’ ladder to put on and glad I did

These poles are easy to assemble and use. While looking a little flimsy, they are sturdy enough to offer a good support and help avoid the awning arms to swing against the wall of the RV.I’m satisfied and will buy another pair for my second awning on my RV.

this product was easy to set up and was sturdy, we tend to camp at the coast and can get some pretty windy days/nights, we use this to add extra support to a room tent that attaches to the awning and camper. In the past you would need to roll up awning as it would flap and bounce around causing loads of noise and stress on the awning arms and fabric. with these two support arms and straps the awning had no up and down movement and helped stabilize the tent/awning structure.

I finally got to use these awning supports with our new trailer. My old trailer had the manual awning supports and handled wind better. The new electronic awning isn’t as heavy duty so the supports are really important if it’s raining or windy. I would t use this for heavy wind as it’s only as strong as the stake you put in the ground to hold the support in place, but it definitely helps. Couple minor suggestions: I’m going to cut a PVC tube about two inches long so the foot of the support will sit in the ground. That way my dog won’t pull it away when her leash tangles with it. A small stake would also work through the plastic foot on the pole, even one just a few inches long. I’m also going to get a heavier duty stake for the strap, at least when I’m on soft ground. Last suggestion and an easy fix, the u-shaped hook at the top that the awning sits in simply sits on top of the pole. It falls off easy when it’s not in use. Something that had a push fit would be a little better.

I’ve used these on several trailers with Carefree awnings, and they’ve all held up great, even in very heavy winds. Most failures are the result of improper setup, or over tightening straps or connections, as evidenced by the photos that have been posted.
