Remember I had the new rig with a Carefree awning but paid for a Girard. Dealer found that issue. well...Newmar sent the dealer a Girard to replace my Carefree..they got the awning after 2 weeks and were about to remove the old one..then the tech found a label inside that said GIRARD! What happened was at the factory they have to paint the awnings to match the coach...well ...someone apparently stuck the Carefree Logo on my Girard case and started this BIG mess as the coach is now 100 miles away while I wait for this non-issue issue! Funny how the local tech said "That Carefree case looks just like a Girard!!" They still need to swap the Carefree wind controller for the Girard
