Title: Carefree Eclipse wall mount pin connector
Post by: gregott on November 08, 2017, 01:51:47 AM

I have a 2008 Contessa and the exterior wall mount pin connector is worn out. I have to use the awning bar to push up on the connector in order to get the awning to work. My question is does anyone know if these are available parts to purchase for replacement? I can't find anything online. Thanks in advance.

Im not sure what you mean by "pin connector", Greg.  A photo would help.  Perhaps this would help:

I think he’s talking about the power connector that is mounted on the side of the coach up near the top of the awning similar to these ...

Thanks Joel,

I am referring to page 22 of the service manual, Detail B. I have been in contact with Carefree today, and apparently, they no longer use these receptacle plugs nor do they have any part # for the plug. I may have to just take the plug out and hard wire the awning.

Greg,
Amphenol probably has the connector you need. https://www.alliedelec.com/m/d/c3990fddd3a8c71ab79633ca0c8715f6.pdf
