When your awning end cap cracks, fades, or breaks away, the internal mechanisms are left exposed to road grime, moisture, and UV damage. The Carefree R001520BLK restores that protection with an exact-fit, factory-matched replacement for the left side of SOK III and Summit awnings -- finished in black and ready to install with the included screws.
The end cap is more than a cosmetic piece. It seals the roller tube housing and arm pivot area against water intrusion, insects, and trail debris that can corrode springs and jam the travel mechanism. A missing or cracked cap on a retractable awning is one of the most common causes of sticky or uneven operation -- and one of the easiest fixes when you source the correct replacement.
Carefree of Colorado manufactures this cap to the same tolerances as the original installed on your coach, so there is no trimming, shimming, or improvising. It mounts with standard hardware and aligns with the existing screw holes in your awning header rail.
Engineered specifically for the left-hand end of SOK III and Summit awning assemblies when you are standing outside facing your RV entry door.
All required mounting hardware is in the box. No separate trip to the hardware store; swap is complete with a basic screwdriver.
Manufactured by Carefree of Colorado at their domestic facility, ensuring consistent quality and genuine OEM-spec tolerances.
Matches black-trim SOK III and Summit awning systems for a factory appearance after replacement.
The left-side end cap closes off the exposed end of the awning roller tube and arm assembly. It shields the internal torsion spring, roller bearings, and arm pivot hardware from the following:
Keeping this cap intact is a simple form of preventive maintenance that extends the working life of the entire awning assembly.
Awning side orientation is always described from the perspective of a person standing outside the RV, facing the entry door side of the coach. The left-side cap (this part) is on your left as you face the slide-out or entry wall. If you need the opposite end, order the corresponding right-side cap separately.
Replacement is a straightforward DIY task for most RV owners:
