A small part that makes a big difference. The Carefree of Colorado R001829-006 is the factory OEM end cap designed specifically for the arm ends on Carefree Longitude awnings. It keeps the arm tip protected from road debris, UV exposure, and moisture intrusion -- and it keeps your rig looking clean and finished. If your original cap has cracked, faded, or gone missing, this is the direct replacement.
Carefree of Colorado is one of the most widely trusted names in RV awning systems, and they back their Longitude product line with genuine OEM replacement parts. The R001829-006 end cap is engineered to snap or seat precisely onto the end of Longitude awning arm tubing, covering the exposed arm tip with a clean, finished look that matches the original black hardware on your awning system.
This is the kind of part that's easy to overlook until it's gone -- but a missing or broken arm end cap exposes the arm tube end to moisture, nesting insects, and UV degradation. Replacing it promptly is a simple, low-effort way to protect a much more significant investment.
Engineered by Carefree specifically for Longitude awning arm ends. No trimming, drilling, or adapters needed.
Matches the standard black hardware and arm color on Carefree Longitude awning systems.
Manufactured domestically under Carefree quality standards for durable, long-lasting performance.
Weighs just 0.1 lb -- easy to keep a spare on hand without adding meaningful weight to your parts kit.
The awning arm end cap fits over the open end of the Longitude awning arm. On a properly assembled Longitude system, this cap provides a finished termination point for the arm tube, prevents debris and water from entering the hollow arm end, and completes the factory aesthetic. Over time, these caps can crack from UV exposure or pop loose during travel on rough roads. Replacing them is a straightforward job requiring no tools in most cases.
Part number R001829-006 is a direct Carefree of Colorado factory part -- not an aftermarket substitute. You get the exact fit, color, and material grade Carefree specifies for the Longitude awning arm system.
This end cap is designed for use with the Carefree Longitude awning arm system. The Longitude is a popular RV slide-out awning platform found on a wide range of fifth wheels, travel trailers, and motorhomes from major manufacturers. If your rig has a Carefree Longitude awning and the arm end caps are black, R001829-006 is the correct OEM replacement part.
The Carefree Longitude awning arm system uses specific end cap sizing. Before ordering, verify your awning is a Carefree Longitude series. Carefree produces multiple awning lines -- including the Spirit, Fiesta, and Traveler -- each with their own hardware. Check your awning label or the original installation paperwork to confirm the Longitude designation.
Installation is typically tool-free. The end cap seats over or into the arm tube end and is retained by friction fit or a light snap feature, depending on the specific arm configuration. Clean the arm end before installing to ensure a secure, rattle-free fit. If your original cap was secured with adhesive from the factory, a small amount of compatible plastic-safe adhesive can be used to hold the replacement in place.
When washing your RV, inspect both awning arm end caps for cracking or looseness. UV exposure and road vibration are the most common causes of failure. Replacing a worn cap early prevents water intrusion into the arm tube, which can eventually cause corrosion or insect nesting issues.
Covered by a limited 1-year manufacturer warranty from Carefree of Colorado against defects in materials and workmanship.
