Give your RV a clean, updated look with a direct-replacement awning fabric from Carefree of Colorado. The JU186B00 combines the valance and main canopy into one seamless piece, installs with the original polyrod slots in your roller tube, and ships with a spline tool so you can do the job yourself at the campsite or in your driveway.
Carefree's JU186B00 is a factory-spec replacement for 18-foot awning assemblies. The fabric measures 17ft 2in from end to end -- intentionally 5 inches short on each side (10 inches total) so it seats properly inside the arms without binding. If you measure your awning from center-of-arm to center-of-arm and get approximately 18 feet, this is the correct size for your rig.
The single-piece construction eliminates the seam between the main canopy and the valance, giving your RV a clean, uninterrupted look when the awning is fully extended. Smaller-scale patterns in the Camel Shale Fade colorway complement most RV exterior color palettes without competing with them.
Valance and main canopy are a single continuous panel -- no seam, no mismatch, cleaner look than two-piece setups.
Integrated Weatherguard protects the fabric from UV exposure, road grime, and abrasion while the awning is rolled up and stored.
Heavy-duty vinyl resists fading, mildew, and moisture. Significantly more durable than lighter-weight acrylic or polyester fabric options.
Two polyrods secure the fabric into two separate slots in the roller tube -- standard configuration for A&E, Carefree, Dometic, and compatible awning systems.
Awning fabric is always listed by the size of the awning assembly it fits, not the actual cut length of the fabric. This fabric fits 18-foot awning assemblies and has a cut length of 17ft 2in.
This fabric uses a standard polyrod and spline attachment system shared across multiple awning brands. It is compatible with most awning arms and roller tubes from:
Installation requires removing the old fabric from the roller tube and threading the new fabric in using the polyrods. Carefree includes a spline tool and printed instructions in the box to help with this process. No special tools or drilling is required for a standard swap.
The White Weatherguard is the outer wrap that is visible when the awning is fully retracted. It shields the main fabric from UV degradation, tree sap, bird droppings, and mechanical abrasion from road vibration. Over time, Weatherguard wears before the main fabric does -- replacing both at the same time (as this kit does) is the correct approach.
