From it's beginning in the early 70's, Carefree of Colorado has emerged as the 
premier manufacturer of quality awnings and accessories for Recreational 
Vehicles (RVs).  Our full line of products can provide the accessories that match 
your life style; no matter what type of RV you own. 

Check with your dealer to discover the products that can make your life more Carefree. 

The clean molded lines of Carefree’s Pioneer Patio Awning are stylized to match 
Carefree's Line of Patio Awnings.  Built with Carefree's attention to quality, value 
and style, this awning is the perfect compliment for any RV. 

 

Simple manual operation.  No springs to deal with. 

  No travel locks required.  The manual crank holds the awning securely 

against billowing during travel. 

  When the awning is extended, the arms can be left on the RV or rotated 

down and placed in the carport position (vertical). 

 

The pitch can be set to provide the best shade and rain run off.
