Carefree Of Colorado HD Awning Stabiliz'r Pole Kit - Awning Pole & Tie Down Kit - RV Awning Support & Accessories (108" Extended Length)

Very easy to use. Like that I can release rod with twist of a knob Update on my review. I have 2 sts of these supprt poles. The knob broke on 1 pole. This FABULOUS COMPANY responded immediately to my email and shipped a new set. I had w/in a week. Very Impressed with their product and their customer service

We have a fifth wheel trailer with the Traveler 20’ awning and just recently replaced the support arms due to wind damage that snapped one of the arms off. We’ve been using the awning for over a year, across the country with few issues. Currently in Florida during storm season and looking for something more robust. Rolling the awning in every time a storm comes through isn’t practical. A pair of ratchet straps on the awning was enough to protect the awning from flying upwards. Needed something to take the downward load. That’s where I hoped the poles would work. First problem was they were too short. The only way I could get them to reach was to lower the pitch all the way down. If these did not have the adjustable pitch, the poles wouldn’t even come close. Second problem was the pole height adjustment would not support the awning, even in light winds. It took very little pressure to lower the pole where it was no longer supporting the awning. This brings me to the third issue. The top of the poles has a post used to affix the support saddle that contacted the awning tube. There is no way of securing this connection. No set screw, no threads, no coupling. Just a smooth post. Effectively the saddle just sits on top of the post. In a situation where you expect some movement (like the wind) and in particular when the pole itself is prone to shortening itself, this means you pole will just fall to the ground if you have more than 2” of movement. About the only positive thing I have to say about it is that the material seems like the right choice. Aluminum won’t rust and can be left outside as intended. The only possibility where this product might work is if you have a much shorter setup where the awning height is about 5’ off the ground. Disappointing product from the manufacturer of the awning. I can’t recommend this product in the least.

I love being able to leave our awning out without worrying about wind or rain. We are in Texas, and the weather can change on a dime. We live in our motorhome, and these supports are a godsend. We're on our second kit because we had an unexpected storm that knocked out one support, bending it. We purchased the supports after buying our Sun Shade Screen, and it keeps everything secure, even on windy days. We put clips on the support ropes so they can't come off the awning.

I bought these for my RV. It has an 18' awning design that has no support arms similar to those in the photo. I am not sure of the engineer who designed it, but they seem to be pretty well detached from reality. An awning that cantilevers off the side of your RV 9' with no support at all? Then consider how poorly RV construction is. The awning mounts may or may not be screwed into anything substantial. On its best day it is a poor design. I believe even with no wind or wind gusts these awnings would rip the mounting screws out. If you are unsure do an internet search and you will find tons of complaints related to this design. I shake my head as to why any reputable RV manufacturer would include them on their rigs from the factory other than they don't care. The awning manufacturer provides a solution - These supports are essentially prop rods that prop rods that support the unsupported roller of the extended awning. They are easily adjusted for height. They are provide an arguably even more important function of holding down the awning in the event of light winds through the ingenious way the straps are routed. This product is well thought out and well made. The only downside is they are probably twice as expensive as they should be. There are many cheap DIY solutions out there, but I did not have the time to mess with them.

These do their job... somewhat. The strap tightening doesnt work. They loosen themselves almost immediately, especially with any flapping from a breeze. I've had to tie them off to keep them tight. Also, the tightening nut has to be REALLY tight for the poles to not collapse. If you do that, and tie a knot to keep the straps tight (or buy your own tensioning buckle), they work well. The plastic parts also feel quite cheap. I hope they last...

It is inferior quality and company is no help

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.

I had one of the half circle ends break and one of the tightening knobs strip out. Also the strap tightening rings slip so you have to tie them off. Customer service sent me some, but not all of the replacement parts I needed after 3 months and reminding them several times. The CS guy was doing his best but the parts dept. was dropping the ball, so he said. If you have an automatic awning, make sure you shut it off after extending it, or when the wind comes up it will try to close and break stuff. When you hook the strap to the upper pole, you need to bring it over the top of the awning tube and then wrap it around the pole before tying it off to a stake or it will fall off. Hook the strap to a good heavy ground stake not a cheap tent stake or it will pull out. Tighten the strap and tie it off, then raise the pole to get it really tight. Also make sure to use 2 stakes per pole base driven in at different angles to secure the bottom of the poles. I'm happy with them and they work great so far, but I am skilled enough to repair them and fabricate needed parts. The 2 star review is because they are not heavy duty at all. I wouldn't ever recommend the regular ones and they get bad reviews for getting destroyed in a light breeze.

Item was as advertised. The only thing was that the packaging was in very poor shape and all taped up. All contents were inside and in good condition.
