Due to a heavy quick rain our awning collapsed on the side that has the motor. We know we have a Unaguard awning. However to repair and replace the arm we are being ask what the brand name is. We can't find anything in our owners notebook. Does anyone know if the power awnings are Carefree or A&E or neither. We have a 2014 38GK. Thank you for the help!
We have the 2014 38GK as well. The "Manuals" that came with ours are the Carefree Travel'R.

You may also want to contact Tiara and give them your VIN number. They may be able to confirm your installation since they are the "official" Redwood Parts Supplier:
Tiara RV Sales and Service | 3260 Cassopolis St., Elkhart, Indiana 46514 | 866.880.3093 | 574.266.2136 Local | 574.262.4358 Fax
574-266-2136 and ask for parts
After installation, be sure your check the roller as the screws are light-weight. You will want to change them all out with heavier self-tapping stainless steel screws:
After that, make sure to add 2 additional lag bolts to the each support upright. You'll notice that Redwood only installed 2 to begin with. By adding a couple more, you'll save yourself a headache (no pun intended) and a dent in the side of the RV later on. Ask me how I know...
Here is the Maintenance Care Manual:
The fabric looks different than ours, but the arms definitely look the same. I'm 90% sure that is a Carefree Travel'R.
Here is the "Motherload" of Manuals for this Carefree (or in your case, not so Carefree) Awnings:
Thank you so much! This is very helpful!
Terry can we have these pdfs added to the technical library

Shane,
I uploaded a number of Carefree manuals to the Technical Library. When I get a few days in one location, I'll check which ones aren't in the library and upload.
