In various trailers and fifth wheels, I’ve had 3 Dometics and 1 Carefree (current one). I’m not impressed with Carefree and would pick the Dometic. I’ve found Carefree much more susceptible to wind and from what their manual states, there is no adjustment. Both pool water but the Carefree is the worst, numerous times when retracting with pooled water the Carefree requires multiple times to extreme and retract so the fabric isn’t bunched up. IMHO, the Carefree slide toppers are a POS, when the fabric goes I’ll replace them with a complete Dometic.
