The Carefree Rafter VII is a later awning-rafter support design with separate linkage and a front-end mounting assembly. It shares some common hardware with Rafter VI but its main rafter arms and tip are distinct parts.

Compatibility and safety: The factory listing specifies the Rafter VII outer arm as R00871WHT and the inner linkage as the R00872 family. These are not Rafter VI replacements. Verify rafter generation before replacing any arm. Spring-loaded awning assemblies must be serviced according to Carefree's full instructions, with appropriate support and protective procedures.

Compare the Rafter VI numbered diagram if the original unit has a 50-inch R00123W outer arm or 57-inch R00720 inner arm. The Rafter VII arm assemblies are not direct substitutes.
