If your RV is factory-equipped with the rear
patio canopy and screen room option, refer to
the instructions
supplied by Jayco in
your Goodie Bag. DO
NOT use the
instructions or lift
cables supplied by
the Carefree of
Colorado. The rear
ramp label should be
kept permanently
affixed to your RV.
The factory-installed awning rail is standard
equipment above the ramp door on most
models. Jayco has made OEM approved
changes; to ensure correct installation of the
rear screen room use the following steps (it
may be easier with at least two people).
Setting up the ramp door
1. Unlock and lower the ramp door. Make
sure the transition ramp is folded back on
to the ramp door.
The screen room installer must use care
and not puncture or tear the screen room
on the transition ramp during this
installation procedure.
2. Lift the ramp door parallel to the ground
and install the Jayco supplied cables (do
not use the OEM cables). The Jayco
added center cable support
must
be
attached to the ramp door to keep the
ramp door from flexing and being put
under stress.
There are two holes on the cable fastener
located on the ramp door. This allows you
to make minor height adjustments.
Fig. 11.10
The ramp door flexes noticeably and has
additional stress when the OEM support
cables are used. Damage caused by using
the OEM support cables is not covered under
the terms of the Towable Limited Warranty.
3.
Unfasten and raise the awning side arms
parallel to the ramp door. The awning side
arms must be high enough to allow the
valco buttons to snap into place.
Add the awning
There are 4 curved tubes and 2 straight tubes
that complete the support arms for the
awning.
4. Install the 2 small curved tubes into the
straight bar; insert this crowning bar into
the top “T” connectors which are
designated by the circles in the image, on
the awning side arms.
Fig. 11.11
5. Insert a straight tube through the sleeve
on the front edge of the awning. Then
In windy, gusty or stormy conditions, take
down your canopy and screen room to
avoid damage. Wind and rain damage are
not covered under the Towable Limited
Warranty.
