Small slide awning cover

Blacknchromehd · 10-03-2015, 02:38 PM

Loving to see if anyone has ordered a carefree Colorado cover for the small slide cover...my big slide has one but not the small one...

They did not include those on any Legacy's we have discovered. Check out the "mods" thread, it is covered pretty well on that thread. I checked the Carefree website and they are available for sure. Likely have to call them since they are custom length. Mid $200 ish range if I remember. I just have not done it yet. Slide toppers fry so fast in the California sun I may wait till the first fabric replacement.

Do they come painted?

captnrick3 · 10-04-2015, 05:23 PM

I think I asked and they come in any color as long as you want black or white.

I am Having a hard time understanding this because our Legacy came with one.

Well my main slide on my RB had one but the small bedroom slide does not...going to ask FR today why?

Mike at the factory has told me that the small bedroom slide was not equipped with one.

My RB is the same as Blacknchromehd - no cover on the bedroom slide.

Blacknchromehd · 10-05-2015, 03:27 PM

i am going to buy one...225$ seems reasonable to me...protect the cover...next will be the main awning one..

Just installed a 156" and 60 inch Carefree of Colorado Ascent Model on my Wildcat Maxx. Easy install on the small one. Three man job on the 156 incher.

Had our first rain storm and the covers did puddle and had to be closed to dump the water.

Nice finished look on the 5th wheel though

You must have the only one. I was at the factory today and for a fact the bedroom slide does not come with one. Just a little "price point issue". No big deal for me since like I posted earlier, in So. Cal., the slide toppers fry in the sun quickly, so I may just wait. Who knows. At least the big one comes protected and it's not that big a deal to fix it.

My Legacy did not have a metal cover on the bedroom small slide topper. Purchased online from Carefree of Colorado. Came with all hardware needed for the installation. Can be done by one person - just have to find a way to brace one end in the approximate position and get the other end started.

Just installed a 61" cover on my back slide.Got it from Arizona RV Parts for $71.50 shipped. The phone# is 928-782-2989. Fast delivery too.

Blacknchromehd · 10-06-2015, 05:03 PM

Wow....can you provide photos of the new cover

hardoiler · 10-06-2015, 05:36 PM

Sorry Blacknchromehd but I don't know how to post pics yet. The fabric is 18oz and you can get black or white. Wed site Arizona RV Parts. Hope this helps you.

first thing I did to my 5er was to put both slide toppers on. the large and short slide

hardoiler · 10-06-2015, 06:04 PM

I was talking about the fabric only, not the whole slide. If I led anybody on with this info I did not mean to. Sorry!

There are two other threads that cover inexpensive awning covers.

This one uses Home Depot plastic gutters. I'll be trying this one we we get home from Ozarks!

Here is the other using pipe from Lowes. Both seems like great ideas.
