Take control of your shade and rain management with the Carefree of Colorado R001827 Pitch Adjustment Assembly. Designed specifically for the Longitude awning arm, this replacement kit lets you dial in the exact angle you need -- whether you are shedding water off the back or maximizing shade coverage on a bright afternoon.
The Longitude is one of Carefree of Colorado's most popular RV awning lines, and the pitch adjustment assembly is a critical part of getting useful shade or effective rain runoff from the system. Over time, the original assembly can wear, strip, or crack under UV exposure and seasonal temperature swings. This R001827 kit restores full pitch adjustability so your awning performs the way it was designed to.
With a 3 to 16 degree range, you have enough range to pitch the awning toward the coach for rain runoff in wet weather, or level it out for maximum shade coverage on a sunny day. All mounting hardware is included so you are not hunting for fasteners at the campsite.
3 to 16 degree pitch range covers both rain runoff and shade optimization without requiring separate parts.
All necessary fasteners and hardware are included in the kit -- no extra trip to the hardware store.
Engineered specifically for the Carefree Longitude awning arm system for a direct, no-modification replacement.
Manufactured domestically by Carefree of Colorado, a leading name in RV awning systems for over 50 years.
A properly pitched awning does two jobs well: it sheds rain away from your doorway and living area, and it positions the canopy to block the sun at the angle that actually matters for your site orientation. The pitch adjustment assembly is the mechanical link that makes both possible.
When this component fails or becomes difficult to adjust, you lose the ability to adapt to changing conditions. A stuck or broken pitch assembly also places uneven stress on the awning arm, which can accelerate wear on the roller tube and fabric over time.
The R001827 is designed for the Carefree Longitude awning arm system. The Longitude line is commonly found on Class A, Class C, and fifth-wheel coaches from major manufacturers including Forest River, Thor, Winnebago, and others. If you are unsure whether your awning is a Longitude, look for the Carefree branding on the roller tube end cap or awning arm casting.
This is a bolt-on replacement that uses the existing mounting points on the Longitude awning arm. No drilling or modification is required under normal circumstances. The included hardware matches the original fastener spec. Basic hand tools (typically a socket set and screwdriver) are sufficient for most installations.
