So, we have to replace the awning on our horse trailer and would like input regarding Dometic and Carefree brands.  We had a Dometic and the arms were very difficult to lock into place.  It was as if the pins were too short to go through the holes.  Has anyone had a Carefree, and if so was it of good quality?

Thanks!

Last year I added an awning to my trailer I bought and called three different trailer business to price them. I couldn't decide between the two so I then asked to talk to the service department since I wanted the input from the guys that actually work on them and all three said they'd go with a Dometic so I did. I had a Dometic awning on my last trailer and it was 13 years old when I sold it and I only replaced some knobs on the arms. I can say I really like my new awning and was surprised how much easlier it is to put up and down compared to my last one.

My suggestion is to upgrade to the Dometic 2 step, so much easier to use

Do you happen to know what model that is?  I have seen 9000, 8000, 8500, but I don't recall reading anything that mentioned two step.
