Give your rig a fresh look and lasting protection with this direct-replacement awning fabric from Carefree of Colorado. The Camel Shale Fade colorway pairs with a White Weatherguard for a clean, classic appearance, while the heavy 13.5 oz vinyl construction stands up to sun, wind, and road wear season after season.
Worn, faded, or torn awning fabric doesn't mean you need a whole new awning. The Carefree JU176B00 is designed as a straightforward fabric-only replacement for 17 ft roller awnings. It uses the same standard polyrod attachment system and poly cord sizing found on the most popular awning brands, so you can swap it in without modifying your existing hardware.
The one-piece design integrates the valance and main canopy into a single continuous panel -- no separate valance to align or attach. Smaller-scale fade patterns give the fabric a refined, coordinated look against a variety of RV exterior colors.
Valance and main canopy are combined into a single uniform panel for a sleek, seamless look when fully extended.
The White Weatherguard wraps the fabric when the awning is rolled up, shielding it from UV exposure, dirt, and road scrapes between uses.
Heavier than standard replacement fabrics, the 13.5 oz vinyl resists sagging, tearing, and UV degradation over multiple camping seasons.
Two polyrods seat into two separate slots on the roller tube -- the same system used across most Carefree, A&E, and compatible awning frames.
RV awning fabric is intentionally cut shorter than the stated awning width. This fabric measures 16 ft 2 in (194 inches) in length and is designed for awnings with a nominal width of 17 ft. The fabric will sit approximately 5 inches short on each side (10 inches total) of the full awning width -- this is normal and expected with Carefree and compatible roller awning systems.
This fabric is designed to work with roller awning systems from multiple manufacturers that use the standard dual-polyrod roller tube attachment. Compatible brands and product lines include:
If you are unsure whether your awning uses a standard dual-polyrod roller tube, check the existing fabric attachment at the roller bar before ordering. Non-standard or proprietary attachment systems may not be compatible.
The kit includes the fabric, one spline tool, and installation instructions. Most RV owners with basic mechanical skills can complete the swap at a campsite or driveway. Key steps involve removing the old fabric from the roller tube, feeding the new polyrods into the roller tube slots using the included spline tool, and re-securing the fabric to the lead rail.
Due to the rolled dimensions and weight of this fabric, this item ships via ground freight only. Expedited or priority shipping is not available. Plan accordingly if ordering ahead of a camping trip.
