The Carefree Mirage is a powered box awning with a housed roller and articulated spring arms. End plugs, motor crowns and drive adapters depend on the exact roller-tube configuration, not just the awning name. Use Carefree's numbered exploded drawing to distinguish the motor, tube adapters, idler end and spring arms.

Identification by factory component number
Orange-body 110V replacement motor assembly for the discontinued silver-body motor. Carefree includes the motor, cable, crown and drive gear in the R001853 replacement assembly.
The separately numbered crowns and drive adapter correspond to vertical/horizontal configurations and 3- or 3.5-inch roller tubes. Confirm the original roller arrangement before ordering these components individually.
Manual override crank handle assembly in the original illustrated list; check the original override fitting and crank dimensions before using a part shared with another awning family.
Left (and center, where fitted) arm assemblies for different projection lengths.
Right arm assemblies differ from left.
Idler bushings and plugs require the actual tube diameter; some older components are discontinued.

Compatibility and service warning: Carefree switched Mirage roller tubes from 3-inch steel to 3.5-inch aluminum around March 2019. Crown and end-plug combinations differ and must not be mixed. Powered awnings and spring-loaded arms can move unexpectedly; isolate power and follow the manufacturer service manual.
