Carefree Travel'r Awning
The Travel'r Awning came on my Jayco Designer and I am interested in adding a Carefree SunBlocker shade to it. I would like to leave the shade on the roller when it is rolled up while camped to allow quick retrieval in case of an approaching storm. I will not leave it on the roller when traveling but:
Carefree says not to do it.
My dealer service manager says not to do it, but he has customers that do.
Another concern of mine is since this extra material, even though thin, will add thickness to the roller which might prevent the awning to completely close or will the increased roll size hit the side of my 5'er first preventing the complete closure of the awning?
If I have to do what Carefree suggests and that is to remove the SunBlocker prior to each retraction I won't get it. Too much trouble and time consuming if you are trying to get it retracted as a thunderstorm is approaching.
Thoughts?
