Carefree VXJE50HW Eclipse Power Awning Arm Extension Hardware Black

Restore or upgrade your Carefree Eclipse RV patio awning with the Carefree VXJE50HW Eclipse Power Awning Arm Extension Hardware (Black). Complete OEM set of "scissor" style arms with integrated 12V worm-gear motor — direct-fit replacement for Carefree of Colorado Eclipse patio awnings on coaches with straight sides. No vertical ground supports required. Six-position pitch adjustment. Truss-support design distributes load evenly for wind and rain resistance. Aluminum construction, black finish. Backed by Carefree's 1-year limited warranty. Available at The RV Surplus.

⭐ Scissor-Style Arms — No Ground Supports Needed

Standout design vs traditional vertical-support awnings: unique "scissor" style arm geometry deploys without vertical ground supports. Meaningful benefits:

• Nothing to lock, latch, or stake into the ground — extend, retract, done
• Highest head clearance of any vertical arm awning — walk under freely
• Faster deployment — button-press extension in seconds
• Cleaner site footprint — no arms blocking chairs, tables, or foot traffic

⭐ Six-Position Adjustable Pitch

Standout convenience feature: six pitch adjustment settings let you tailor the awning to your specific conditions. Meaningful benefits:

• Rain runoff — steeper pitch (~40" extension drop) sheds water away from the coach
• Optimal shade angle — dial in for the sun's position
• Set-and-forget — pitch stays consistent through extend/retract cycles (no need to readjust each time)
• Simple adjustment — press the pitch adjustment pin and slide the arm to the desired hole

⭐ Integrated 12V Worm-Gear Motor — Billow-Proof

Standout hardware feature: Carefree's exclusive worm-gear drive motor is integrated into the right-hand extension arm. Meaningful benefits:

• Billow-proof operation — worm-gear locks the roller for travel, preventing wind unroll
• Push-and-hold control — extend or retract with a single button
• Stop at any position — precise control over shade coverage or weather protection
• Smooth, controlled deployment — no jerking or uneven arm travel
• Full 8' extension in seconds

⭐ Truss-Support Design — Wind & Rain Stability

Standout structural feature: the truss-support geometry distributes load evenly across both arms. Meaningful benefits:

• Reduced strain on individual components — longer service life
• Better wind stability — less arm buckling risk in gusts
• Better rain shedding — rafter arms glide up the vertical track for stable overhead support
• Rigid, stable canopy tension — less canopy sag and flap

⭐ No-Rust Aluminum Construction

Standout durability feature: lightweight, no-rust aluminum construction holds up to years of exposure to rain, road salt, sun, and repeated extend/retract cycles.

Vehicle & Awning Compatibility

• Compatible with: Carefree of Colorado Eclipse patio awnings
• Coach type: Straight-sided coaches (verify awning model before ordering)
• Also usable to upgrade: Existing Carefree or A&E roller assemblies to Eclipse 12V power
