If your Carefree Altitude or Longitude patio awning roller has developed unwanted play, refuses to stay seated on the arm, or has a cracked/missing retaining clip, this is the OEM hardware kit that puts it right. Carefree part number R001836 supplies both the retaining clip and the mounting bracket needed to properly anchor the roller assembly to the awning arm -- restoring the solid, aligned operation these awnings are designed to deliver.
The roller assembly is the heart of any manual or automatic RV patio awning -- it houses the fabric, the spring tension mechanism, and the pivot points that let the awning extend and retract smoothly. On Carefree Altitude and Longitude models, the roller is captured at each end by a bracket and held firmly in place by a retaining clip. When that clip breaks, fatigues, or goes missing during a road trip, the roller can shift laterally, bind on extension, or pull away from the arm under wind load.
Replacing the clip and bracket as a matched set -- rather than improvising with generic hardware -- ensures the geometry stays true to Carefree's original tolerances. This kit is sold individually; order two if both ends of the roller need attention.
Designed and manufactured by Carefree of Colorado specifically for Altitude and Longitude awning roller assemblies -- no modification or fabrication required.
Includes one (1) retaining clip and one (1) mounting bracket -- the two components most commonly lost or broken during awning service or road travel.
Firmly re-anchors the roller to the awning arm, eliminating lateral movement and preventing fabric tracking issues on extension and retraction.
Produced domestically by Carefree of Colorado and backed by a limited 1-year manufacturer warranty.
This kit is designed for Carefree of Colorado Altitude and Longitude series RV patio awnings. These awning lines are found on a wide range of travel trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes from manufacturers including Forest River, Keystone, Thor, Winnebago, and others that spec Carefree awnings from the factory.
If you are unsure whether your awning is an Altitude or Longitude model, check the Carefree label on the roller end cap or the awning arm casting. The series name is typically molded or printed directly on the component.
