Springless Vinyl Awning FRTA Component, 18'
Carefree of ColoradoSpringless Awning FRTA Component, 18', Standard Vinyl
The Fabric Roller Tube Assembly (FRTA) component for a Carefree Travel'r, Eclipse, Pioneer, or Altitude awning will deliver to you in your awning length and your chosen fabric color.
If your awning's fabric and/or roller tube need replacing, this is the item to get. This one component includes new vinyl fabric, in your choice of several colors, on the 3.4" diameter roller tube.
Double-wrap, multi-layer vinyl Weatherguard looks better and lasts longer. Other brands feature single-weight, no-Weatherguard construction. The multi-layer vinyl canopy is the best awning fabric available. Competitors use single piece no-Weatherguard fabric.
The Best Fabrics
Carefree's double-wrap, multi-layer vinyl canopy with vinyl Weatherguard looks better and lasts longer. Don't settle for the single weight, no-Weatherguard construction of other brands. The multi-layer vinyl canopy is the best awning fabric available.
Vinyl Dune Stripes will feature a white weatherguard. Matching weatherguard is available as a Special Order. The Dune Stripes pattern and color are on both sides of the canopy, top and bottom. Choose from: Sierra Brown, Bordeaux, Teal, Black/Gray, and Ocean Blue.
Vinyl Shale Fades will feature a white weatherguard. Matching weatherguard is available as a Special Order (Adds $200). The Shale Fades and Checkered Flag have pattern and color on the top side of the canopy only. The underside is always white. Choose from: Black Fade, Blue Fade, Burgundy Fade, Camel Fade, and Silver Fade. Non-stocked colors in particular sizes are Special Order (S/O) and will incur an upcharge of $100.
An awning's size (i.e.: 12' to 21') refers to the center-arm to center-arm measurement. Actual fabric length will be slightly shorter, while overall complete awning length will be slightly longer.
Installation Difficulty = 4 out of 5 wrenches. You can install this awning yourself with a helper and power tools (drill). Any RV awning requires unobstructed access to an awning rail. When mounting to a surface that does not have an awning rail, you will need to install one first.
NOTE: This STOCKED LENGTH is available in several Standard vinyl colors. Additionally, Special Order (S/O) vinyl colors ($100 extra) are available. New Premium Vinyl (with 10-year warranty) colors ($250 extra) are also available as a Special Order (S/O). All vinyl colors (except S/O Black) will have White weatherguard and White spring caps (S/O Black will have Black weatherguard and Black spring caps). To view our Special Order Terms, click here.
