Thanks very much for this informative video regarding the pairing of the wind sensor. I fixed mine myself, and saved me a warranty service trip to the dealer, avoiding a 150 mile round trip and a frustrating day spent at the dealership. I still don't know why they couldn't diagnose and fix this on the day of purchase of my 2024 Winnebago View 24D. I followed your instructions, and it works perfectly now!
Very helpful. Mine did not work from the day I picked up my van. Took to the dealer and the technician could not/did not know how to fix it. I fixed it my self after watching this. It was the 17mm bolt that was loose and the two rubber bushings. I should go and show this video to the technician.
This is so helpful. I have a Travato 59K with the carefree awning that does not close completely. Where do I find the model number so that I can order an owners manual?
I’m not sure. Reach out to Jeremy Nicoll, Customer Service/Technician at Carefree. His number is (303) 469-3349 or email jnicoll@carefreeofcolorado.com
I have a freestyle and the only way I can open it if I push to the on position than push extend it will come out 4” and retract if I push to the on position push extend than push off than back on again repeat I can slowly open it all the way .
I have a 2017 Roadtrek 190 Popular with a carefree awning. It won't hold the adjustment when I try to close it. I tighten the lower 4mm hex screw under the rear cover to close it but then I crank the awning out several times and it'll stop short of closing again so I have to tighten the screw again. Kind of a pain.
Great video. It helped with one of my issues with the motion sensor, the problem I have now is that that it stops about 3 inches out. The manual adjustment screw does not work, well it does, because if I crank it counter clockwise it sticks out further. It appears that the direct response is stopping it? Is there a way to reset that? I can crank it in manually...
My awning on my Launch is sticking. It opens after prying it with my fingers and will operate normally. Once the van sits for awhile it will stick again. Not sure if I need to make some adjustments.
Man perfect video as my Carefree awning doesn’t extend on my new Jayco Terrain 19Y. The motor just runs for about 30 seconds. Any ideas on how to get it to extend?
Have you tried giving it a couple of good slaps while the motor is running? It might just be stuck. After my visit to Carefree and having them dial mine in perfectly, I now have to slap mine once or twice to get it to extend. If you are able to get it out, check the bumpers to see if they are in the proper position.
In FB group, I saw a lot of people mentioned that their awning extended by itself, even when fuse were already taken away. What was the problem? Is that already solved? I am afraid to by a class b with carefree awning.
You’re likely referring to the Carefree awning that came on the Revel. There was a recall that addressed that issue. It’s my understanding that the Jayco Terrain and Entegra Launch use a different Carefree model. I’m not aware of any Terrain or Launch owners having that problem.
@@terrain4x4adventuresI went to open my awning today after been shut for awhile and it almost unraveled itself. Fortunately I stopped it just in time but had to take care of a sag which I did. However when I try retract it now it goes until about 2 feet and stops. If I try open it, I have to stop it because it will unravel itself. I’ve tried to adjust the screws but nothing. Can you ask what the fix is for this? Thanks.
@@avacop96 That’s a tough one. Reach out to Jeremy Nicoll, Customer Service/Technician @ Carefree (303) 469-3324 or jnicoll@carefreecolorado.com. He should be able to help you.
Half of this video is out of focus and many times the cameraperson doesn't have the point of discussion in the field of view. They don't tell you which way is up on the adjustment screw. Poor video.

I’m very happy this helped solve your problem!
I have the Jayco Terrain 19y, which 17mm bolt was loose? Where can I access this bolt if my awning won’t open? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for sharing. Very helpful - though I'm shocked that adding Velcro squares is part of their recommended adjustment methods. 😞
Glad it was helpful! Yeah I found that interesting as well. Small shims can make a difference.

Thank you! I’m not sure. I’d give Carefree of Colorado a call.

In the video at the 6 minute mark, they talk about bumpers that tend to move. Have you checked the positioning of yours?

Thanks I was able to do this but now the awning won't close all the way. Maybe 12 inches out from closing.
@@BWT599have you tried manually cranking it in?

How do you adjust the range. My door awning only goes out about half way.
Great question. I don’t have the answer to that one. I’d reach out to Carefree of Colorado at Phone Number

what do i do if the 2 elbows sag below the case when it closes? i have three arms on mine.
I’m not sure. Please reach out to Carefree of Colorado for technical support at (303) 469-3324.
Good info Jeff and helpful. Would be better if they sounded a little more professional in their descriptions. Too choppy.
Thanks for the feedback. Not professional actors. 🤣 We didn’t have much time to put this together so I didn’t want to ask them to redo parts.

Motion sensor keeps dying and then never pairs back. It is a terrible design.
Hmmm. That’s odd, I haven’t experienced that. You should reach out to Carefree and have them replace it.

This wasn’t a planned video and I’m not a professional. I’m sorry you didn’t find it helpful.
