Carefree SOK III Slide Topper Owners
From time to time, when we run across a common problem with a slide topper assembly we try and disseminate this information to groups and members who own particular model coaches or manufactured parts...

Stuart, I agree. I could write a book. We make 100's of slide toppers each year and we cannot keep Carefree torsion springs in stock. They seem to break constantly. I just had two customers order new springs for their coaches this week. One was a 2013 and the other a 2011. Very sad to be experiencing these problems so early in a coaches life.
We have had a difficult time keeping springs in stock. They come in the front door and go right out the back to a waiting customer.
Blasterman: The effected year/model range is 2006 to the current model years.
Please be advised that some 2006 model coaches were manufactured with the older SOK II model assemblies. 2006 was the transition year for Carefree.
If you own a 2006 coach you will need to look at your end caps. If it is plastic and has one single screw near the center then it is the older styled SOK II. If it steel and has numerous bolts on the end then it is the effected model which is the SOK III.
If anyone has any questions I will try and answer them for you.
