Unfortunately they didn't have the part I was looking for but I'll definitely keep them in mind for future needs...thanks for the recommendation.

Thought I'd report back that original formula JB Weld has done the trick so far. I've only used the awning a couple of times since the repair and it seems to be holding up fine. About to take a month long trip where it'll get repeated use...I'll report back with the results. I'll be bringing...

another excellent idea! thank you so much everyone!

both good tips! thank you!

So I'm a bit stuck trying to solve an issue with the gear box for my late 80s Carefree Freedom awning. The plastic 'loop' of the gear box that the hand crank hooks into broke off and I haven't been able to find a replacement gear box (or 'loop') for this older model. 1) does anyone have any idea...
