Beat the heat without losing the view. The Carefree of Colorado SunBlocker Panel slides directly into the open slot on most RV awning roller bars to create a shaded, comfortable outdoor living space in minutes. Open-weave construction cuts approximately 85% of incoming light and radiant heat while still allowing airflow and partial visibility -- no dark cave, just cool shade.
Whether you're parked with the morning sun blazing through the east side of your rig or fighting afternoon glare on your patio, the SunBlocker panel is designed to drop into the factory slot on your Carefree roller bar awning without any drilling, sewing, or special hardware. Secure the bottom edge with the included grommets and ground stakes and you're done.
The 6 ft drop x 15 ft length covers a full standard RV slide-out or awning run, and the 100% woven polyester fabric with durable vinyl coating holds up to repeated outdoor exposure. At 15 lbs, it packs down manageable and stores in the compartment when not in use.
Open-weave fabric cuts approximately 85% of sunlight and radiant heat, reducing patio temperature noticeably without blocking all airflow or visibility.
Slips directly into the open slot on most Carefree awning roller bars -- no drilling, grommets, or clamps required at the top edge.
100% woven polyester base fabric with a durable vinyl coating resists weather, UV degradation, and mildew through multiple camping seasons.
Includes perimeter grommets and ground stakes so the bottom edge stays taut in wind without flapping or billowing out of control.
The SunBlocker panel is designed specifically for Carefree of Colorado awning systems that feature an open accessory slot along the roller bar tube. This slot is a standard feature on most Carefree roller bar awnings sold on Class A, Class C, and fifth-wheel RVs from approximately the mid-1990s onward. The panel slides into that slot and is held at the top by the bar itself -- no fasteners needed at the attachment point.
The open-weave construction is the key design decision here. A solid vinyl panel would block more light but trap heat and feel like a wall. The SunBlocker's woven polyester mesh allows hot air to pass through while still intercepting the majority of direct solar radiation. The result is a patio that stays noticeably cooler than an unshaded space while remaining breezy and livable.
Practical benefits include reduced interior RV temperatures when parked with a slideout exposed to direct sun, lower demand on your rooftop A/C, and a more comfortable outdoor seating area for early mornings and late afternoons when sun angle is low and glare is intense.
