Looking for Awning Part

I wish I knew what it is called (then I most likely could find it) but I'm looking for the black clip that you squeeze in order to unlock the awning support from the RV when deploying it.(manual awning). One of mine broke this weekend (I think it was sun brittle).

Thanks
  • There are 2 styles of clips. Make sure you get the right one. There's the one in the link above and then there's one that has a rounded bottom like this
  • It's called a travel lock and I would think it would be an industry standard.
  • There are times when being part of a forum makes things so much easier. I had the same problem (broken clip) and thanks for your post......I will buy one too.

  • Dang...right after I posted..I think I found it.. I'll just have to get the right awning model to mkae sure it fits...

  • There are a few different manufacturers of RV awnings; ZipDee, Carefree, and A&E to name the most common.

    Here is an example of the various parts for an A&E 9000:


    I have found this to be a good on-line source for RV parts:
    PPL Awning Parts Catalog
    They will also help you over the phone, if you prefer.

    It would help us on the forum if you could provide a picture of the part and or the make and model of the awning. I have broken and replaced parts on my awning, but not a black one like you described.

    I hope this helps...
