Carefree Awning strut replacement
Our 2014 Lifestyle’s 2013 Carefree awning (Travl’r model) seems to flap a little more than I would expect. The canvas is in good condition so I don’t think it is stretched. I suspect the gas struts are weak.
Even with the serial number look up, I still have some uncertainty with the strut selection.
Two selections - Steep pitch or flat pitch
Since we have a 5th wheel and our awnings do NOT extend over a slide, I suspect we have the steep pitch. The awning has an 18 deg angle.
Our gas struts have a 23.5” body (depending on if you measure from clevis or not).
I suspect I need p/n R001331 has strut (35.374” ext length).
Does anyone have any experience with these and if so, can you offer any guidance?
Thanks
