OEM replacement control board for the Carefree Latitude awning with Direct Response automatic retraction. Senses canopy motion and triggers automatic retraction in wind and inclement weather. Direct replacement — genuine Carefree RV part.
The Carefree RV R060686-003 is the OEM replacement motion detection control board for the Carefree Latitude awning equipped with the Direct Response automatic retraction system. This circuit board is the brain of the wind/motion retraction feature — it monitors canopy movement and triggers automatic retraction when sustained motion from wind or inclement weather is detected, protecting the awning fabric and structure from wind damage.
When this board fails, the awning loses its ability to retract automatically in response to wind — leaving it vulnerable to damage from unexpected gusts. Replacing the board with this genuine Carefree OEM part restores full Direct Response functionality. If your Latitude awning is no longer auto-retracting in wind conditions and the motor and wiring check out, this board is the most common cause.

This is a direct replacement for the original control board in the Carefree Latitude Direct Response system. The board is typically located in the awning control assembly. Diagnose before replacing: Before ordering, verify that the awning motor operates correctly and that wiring connections are intact. If the motor runs but auto-retraction does not function, this board is the likely cause. If you are unsure whether this is the correct part for your specific awning model or year, contact Carefree RV technical support or check your awning's documentation before ordering.
