Awnimg Spring Replacement/elimination

[Jim Godward]

I became aware of a replacement for awning springs.  It is made by Carefree and replaces the spring on both ends of the awning, Pioneer Upgrade Kit.  The Pioneer Upgrade kit includes roller end caps, telescoping crank handle and installation/operation manual. As far as I know, it is only for these awnings based on the information on the Carefree site, compatible with 1997 and newer Carefree Spirit, Fiesta and Simplicity awnings.

My over-the-door awning is a Carefree manual crank type. Works fine, but it's a small awning.
