I lost my awning this past week and determined it was the motor that went bad. I pulled the motor and checked on the Carefree Website for the replacement part and a couple of RV parts dealers on the web as well. The places that did have the motor wanted upwards of $200 for a replacement. Whoa ... I thought that was extremely high for a 12v motor and continued searching the net and realized when I googled the part number that the motor and gear box is actually a part from 1996 Buick Regal. It is a Power Window motor for the right front driver's door. When I went to O'Reilly's Auto Parts to order the replacement it was only $33. A lot better than the $200+ that carefree wanted. Plus the replacement part has a lifetime replacement warranty. Just a little something that might help someone I the future.
