The Carefree standard Slideout Cover protects an RV slide-out room with a roller tube, spring, spindle, endcaps and mounting hardware. The standard Slideout Cover is different from the SideOut Kover III, which has a deflector and hard cover. Use this original manufacturer exploded diagram to identify your existing components before ordering replacements.

Additional manufacturer callouts

The following Carefree numbers help identify additional hardware. Check the original part and current availability before ordering.

Tall mounting-bracket kits, white or black

2 — R012545-005 / R012545-006

Short mounting-bracket kits, white or black; older parts listings may mark these unavailable

4 — R001583 / R001584

White and black plunger kits for the endcap mechanism. Carefree's current replacement-parts index lists the striker plate as included with these kits.

4a — R041276-005 / R041276-006

White and black striker plates, shown separately on the older illustrated drawing. Check the contents of a complete plunger kit before ordering an extra plate.

Current-list addition — R041481-001

Model and service caution: The original service manual uses item 3 for the endcap assembly, 6 for the left spindle and 7 for the right spring; the current Carefree replacement-parts page shifts these callout numbers, so confirm the part number. Spring-loaded awning components retain dangerous tension; follow Carefree's service instructions and have qualified personnel perform spring or roller removal.

Other slideout covers: For a boxed deflector or different spring system, compare the SideOut Kover III and Alpine diagrams. They use different components.
