Keep your Eclipse awning's idler assembly protected and looking clean with this factory-matched replacement end cover. Designed specifically for the left-hand idler end of Carefree Eclipse series awnings, this white cover guards the idler wheel and its hardware against UV exposure, road dust, rain, and debris -- extending the service life of the awning's rolling components and maintaining a tidy appearance on your rig.
The idler end cover is a frequently overlooked but functionally important component of your RV awning system. It caps the non-motorized end of the awning roller tube assembly, enclosing the idler wheel that allows the tube to rotate smoothly during extension and retraction. When the original cover cracks, fades, or goes missing, dirt and moisture can reach the idler wheel bearings, accelerating wear.
Carefree part number R001325WHT is the correct direct replacement for the left-side idler cover on Eclipse series awnings. It is molded to match the contour and mounting footprint of the original Carefree Eclipse hardware, so installation is a straightforward swap -- no drilling, no modification, no fabrication.
Engineered specifically for Carefree Eclipse awning arms -- drops in where the factory cover was, using the same mounting points.
Molded from UV-stabilized plastic in a white finish that resists sun-induced cracking and color fade common in RV awning parts.
This cover is for the left (idler/non-drive) end of the roller tube assembly when facing the awning from the campsite side.
Mounting screws are included in the package so you can complete the swap without a trip to the hardware store.
Stand outside your RV facing the awning fabric (campsite side, with the RV wall behind you). The left idler cover is on your left hand. This is the non-motorized end of the awning that carries the idler wheel. The right side (drive end) uses a different cover part number. If you need the right-side cover or the drive-end cover, search by your awning model to locate the correct companion part.
This cover is designed for the Carefree Eclipse awning series. Carefree manufactures several awning families -- Ascent, Fiesta, Freedom, Latitude, and others -- and the end covers are not cross-compatible. Verify that your awning label reads "Eclipse" before ordering. The awning model label is typically located on the roller tube end cap or the head rail.
