We have a Carefree of Colorado Eclipse awning on our coach. One of the arms has become damaged. Has anyone bought replacement parts in the gold/brass color they put on the coaches back in 2004/2005? All I can find online is white/satin/black and the satin is aluminum. The damage occurred this morning so I can't reach any dealer's service depts or Carefree themselves. Was just wondering while I wait for real answers on Monday.

Bob:

I am assume you are referring to the patio awning. Carefree's color is champagne and is no longer available, the government shut down their anodizing plant several years ago. The 20' awing I was looking for was the XL model, a foot longer than the regular model, which was also discontinued, as it was a special for CC. Changing to the standard Eclipse requires some body work.
I scoured the country for arm replacements and came up empty. I ended up purchasing an new standard Eclipse awning and going with the dominating color in my paint job, black. The champagne color Carefree is now offering will not match the other champagne awnings on the coach.
