From it's beginning in the early 70's, Carefree of Colorado has emerged as the 
premier manufacturer of quality awnings and accessories for Recreational 
Vehicles (RVs).  Our full line of products can provide the accessories that match 
your life style; no matter what type of RV you own. 

Check with your dealer to discover the products that can make your life more Carefree. 

The clean molded lines of Carefree’s Pioneer Lite Patio Awning are stylized to 
match Carefree's line of Patio Awnings.  Built with Carefree's attention to quality, 
value and style, this awning is the perfect compliment for any RV. 

Simple manual operation.  No springs to deal with.

No travel locks required.  The manual crank holds the awning securely
against billowing during travel.

When the awning is extended, the arms can be left on the RV or rotated
down and placed in the carport position (vertical).

The pitch can be set to provide the best shade and rain run off.

Installation is simple.

The fabric is attached to the RV using a standard awning rail.

Each arm is attached at the top and secured in a spring loaded bracket
at the bottom.

Safety Notes: 

The following should always be observed when assembling the awning: 

Always wear appropriate safety equipment (i.e. safety glasses).

Always use appropriate lifting devices and/or helpers when lifting or holding
heavy objects.

Do not over tighten fasteners.  Soft materials such as fiberglass and
aluminum can be "stripped out" and lose the ability to grip.
