Stop the afternoon sun from blasting through the sides of your awning. The Carefree SideBlocker drops a full 6 feet and spans 8 feet to seal off the open side of your awning, giving you real shade and daytime privacy at your campsite without a complicated setup.
The SideBlocker is purpose-built for Carefree roller-style awnings and most other standard awning systems with an open roller bar slot. It slides directly into that slot -- no drilling, no permanent hardware -- and stakes out at the bottom for a taut, clean hang. Whether you are parked at a crowded campground or dealing with low western sun, this panel puts you in control of your outdoor living space.
Made from 100% woven polyester with a full vinyl coating, the fabric resists UV degradation and handles weather without sagging or fading quickly. The black color maximizes light blocking and keeps heat from transmitting through to the shaded area underneath.
UV-resistant fabric blocks direct sun and diffuses glare while standing up to wind and moisture better than plain mesh weaves.
Slides into the open slot on most standard awning roller bars -- no tools or drilling needed for the top attachment point.
A full 6-foot vertical drop covers the side opening of a standard 8 ft projected awning from roller bar to ground-stake height.
Comes with hook brackets, a bungee set, rope and stake kit, and a carrying bag -- everything needed for install and storage.
The 88008802 SideBlocker is sized for awnings with an 8-foot projection (the distance the awning extends out from the RV wall). It is designed to work with Carefree roller-style awning systems and is compatible with most other brands that use a standard open-slot roller bar design. If your awning has a closed or proprietary roller bar, measure the slot opening before ordering.
Setup takes only a few minutes. The top edge slides into the roller bar slot; the included hook brackets secure the panel to the awning arms or structure. The bungee set keeps the fabric taut in light wind, and the rope-and-stake kit anchors the bottom edge to the ground for a clean hang. The whole assembly packs into the included carry bag when you break camp.
At 7.2 lbs, the SideBlocker is light enough to toss in a storage bay without much thought. The included carrying bag keeps all the stakes, bungees, and brackets organized together so nothing gets lost between trips. The panel folds compactly enough to fit alongside most awning accessory kits.
