Carefree's SOKIII & Summit side-out cover is available in 5 basic versions:
SOKIII:
Provides a side-out cover with clean, stylized appearance with a standard integrated deflector. No locks
or anti-billow hardware is required. This style is available for standard and XL widths.
Basic Summit
: Building on the SOKIII, The Summit employs a unique
lift bar system to provide a peaked contour to the fabric when
the room is open; yet stores beneath the fabric when the room
is closed. This is excellent for shedding water and to prevent
pooling on the canopy. This version is commonly used for
OEM installations.
Summit FI (Flexible Install):
Using the same lift bar system of the
basic Summit, the mounting hardware is designed to
provide greater flexibility for installations. The FI uses a
lower profile wall mounting bracket that can adapt to a
variety of mounting surface conditions. The wall mounting
brackets and lift arms are not interchangeable with the
basic Summit. Because of the versatility, this is the popular
version used for aftermarket applications.
Summit XL:
Designed for rooms 192" to 390" wide, the unit uses the same hardware as the basic Summit.
The major extrusions (deflector, roll bar and cover) are made in two pieces and spliced together
during installation. Used for custom OEM applications.
Summit FIXL:
Same as the XL above except with the FI lift bar hardware.
Options:
Deflector Mounting Brackets. For Summit applications, two standard bracket styles are available to
mount the defector/roll bar to the room face. A short bracket and a tall bracket. The brackets can
be mounted into the room structure for stability while accommodating a variety of flange heights.
Front Cover (Case): The cover is available for all versions of the SOKIII & Summit. When installed,
it provides a closed case for the roll bar and fabric. The cover can be easily opened and/or
removed for cleaning and service.
Awning Rail Extension/Gutter: For FI installations, an optional rail extension is available. This
allows the installer to use an existing rail while providing clearance for the lift bar and arms. A
unique V-rail is standard equipment for the XL versions w/ lift bars.
Dimensions are approximate, actual dimensions may vary based on the side-out configuration and options installed.
