Awnings for Slides
Anyone install awnings on their slides for their Fusion? I thinking of getting some to help keep the slides clean and more protection from water. If you have them, post a pic for me please and tell me what brand you bought. Thanks.

We did . . .
I recently read the awning article in Trailer Life from Good Sam's club on the Carefree of Colorado slide awnings. Giving my 2016 F420 has 3 regular Carefree awnings already I ordered this from Carefree directly given the article told how simple the install was. I ordered two; master bedroom slide out and the living area slide out. I was able to match the other three awnings fabric and it was as easy as the article stated. I would recommend these as a add on for the Fuzion line for the basic reasons as well as it matches.
Here is the Carefree web site configuration site. https://www.e-carefree.com/ecarefree...=76&action=cfg
Let me know if you have any questions . . .

Thank you! Very helpful. Turns out I have several local dealers. Did you order through the website or through a local dealer?

If your going to put them on yourself, order direct it will be cheaper.

I ordered direct from Carefree but they told me it might be cheaper to go through a dealer as they try not to undercut them. I had asked my Fuzion dealer but they wanted to sell me the dometic version as they claimed it was easier to order and install. I wanted the Carefree ones that matched my current awnings & were enclosed in the cover so just decied to go direct. Got the awnings 7 days from the day I ordered it. They want to deliver to a commercial location otherwise they charge an additional $100 residencial delivery fee. I had a friend take the order at his warehouse.
You do need a second hand to install the longer ones as they get to heavey to do with one person. Read the trailer life article as it will give you good insight if you aren't a confident DIYer. Also you can download the instructions from the Carefree website as well to get a feel for the process. You need a very tall ladder to do the work with one person (in my case) on the roof feeding the awning into the rig holder.

According to the Carefee CS people they might sell cheaper thru dealers in order to not undercut them. I didn't bother as the difference couldn't have been much, plus I would have had to go to the dealership to pick them up.
