On another site there are several awning support arm failures on 2016 FW with carefree power awnings. My new still waiting for FW has a carefree and wondering if this is a big problem Rock

An overgeneralization IMO. I have no issues at all with my Dometic 9100 power awning hardware and the manual Dometic 8500 hardware is as stout as it comes.
Hey man - no more generalized than your completely vague statement, but if you want to base your RV purchase on the choice of awnings they use - go right ahead. At least I offered the problems I have with each, all you did was gripe. I've seen as many of those weak 9100 power arms fold in half because they can't overcome the strut pressure as I have failures on the Carefree. Your experiences and testimonials aren't the only ones out there.
