I just replaced the rear (idler) arm of the Carefree Latitude on my 29M last week. I was surprised my dealer had a replacement arm available, I have heard Carefree is way behind on spare parts availability.
It was a pretty easy job, but I had two 6' step ladders and a helper. I also have a loader tractor so I used the bucket to support the fully extended awning while we changed the arm. There is a written procedure available on the Carefree of Colorado website and it is very helpful. I first allowed the canopy to overextend then manually stopped it. I then turned off the 12v power to the coach so it could not retract, and just follow the instructions in the procedure.
