Give your rig a fresh look and real UV protection with this direct-replacement vinyl awning fabric from Carefree of Colorado. Sized for 18ft awning systems, this 17ft 2in panel drops in where your old fabric wore out -- no custom fabrication, no guesswork. The Teal Dune Stripe pattern runs double-sided so it looks sharp from the campsite and from inside your RV.
Carefree's JU188C00 is a 13.5 oz vinyl awning fabric designed as a drop-in replacement for worn, faded, or torn canopies on 18ft awning arms. The fabric and valance are integrated into one continuous piece -- no separate hem to align, no seam to gap. When you roll it up, the white Weatherguard wrap shields the vinyl from UV degradation, road grime, and physical scuffs during travel, dramatically extending fabric life compared to exposed-edge designs.
The two-polyrod attachment system locks the fabric into the roller tube using dual slots -- the same standard used across Carefree's full roller tube lineup and compatible with most other major awning brands. Standard poly cord size makes installation straightforward without specialty hardware.
Valance and main canopy are one continuous panel for a clean, uniform look when fully extended -- no gaps or mismatched seams.
White vinyl Weatherguard wrap shields rolled fabric from UV rays, scrapes, and road debris while traveling between campsites.
Teal Dune Stripe pattern is printed on both sides so the canopy looks finished from every angle -- inside and outside your RV.
Two polyrods seat into two separate slots in the roller tube for a secure, rattle-free hold. Standard poly cord size -- no specialty tools required beyond the included spline tool.
This fabric is sized for 18ft awning systems. The cut length of the fabric is 17ft 2in, which is intentional -- awning fabric is designed to run approximately 5 inches short on each side (10 inches total) relative to the arm-to-arm width. This is standard across the industry and allows the arms to operate without binding the fabric edge.
This fabric is engineered to the standard polyrod and roller tube dimensions used across multiple awning brands. It is confirmed compatible with most awning systems from:
If your awning uses a non-standard tube diameter or a proprietary polyrod channel, verify the roller tube slot count before ordering.
