I haven't personally had to replace a damaged awning yet but a friend here in the RV park had one of his support arms fail last summer due to high winds. He had a mobile service tech assess the damage, called Dometic with a listing of the needed replacement items, and had the mobile tech install them.
Fortunately, there was not damage to the electrical wiring (power awning), mounting brackets, trailer sidewalls, or the awning material. It was simply replacing one of the support arms.
I think the whole repair, including service tech fee, was about $400.

Carefree of Colorado. You can order the parts you need and install them yourself if you so desire. Usually the labor for this isn't that bad.
Mike, I have been on Carefree's website and they have done a good job of hiding their telephone number. I have emailed them, and will hopefully hear from them soon. But, from their website, it appears that I may have to go through a dealer. Do you have any experience with ordering from them directly. The replacement of the arm looks very straightforward.
