Identify the awning before ordering: SOKIII is a spring-operated slide-out topper, not an electric slide-room mechanism. Summit and Summit XL share some components but use a discontinued lift-bar design; conversion to SOKIII requires the manufacturer's procedure. Check the installed awning model and serial, order width, canopy length, roller style, front-cover attachment type and finish.

Carefree SOKIII factory exploded parts diagram

Carefree SOKIII legacy numbered factory exploded illustration showing deflector bracket, roller tube, spring assembly, center support and awning rail, with callouts differing from the updated service chart
Carefree's numbered SOKIII exploded drawing shows the roller, deflector, spring and support assemblies, including an XL center-support detail. This drawing uses a different numbering scheme from the newer 19-item service table below. Identify the part by its exact manufacturer number and your installed model, not by the drawing callout alone. Select the image to enlarge..

Current Carefree SOKIII parts list — callouts 1–19

The numbered references follow Carefree's current parts chart. Older SOKIII drawings use different numbering; match the manufacturer part number as well as the diagram.

18 610700-XXXxxx Awning rail Match the colour and length
19 R012711-00X Hardware pack Finish-specific hardware; not shown on exploded illustration
Important service differences: Replacement front covers attach with screws; an older spring-pin end-cap design may require replacing #5 and #6. The manufacturer notes that the roller support #7 is no longer used on units 10 ft or shorter. Standard and XL roller assemblies, springs and front covers have different configurations. Do not release a wound awning spring without following the factory service precautions.

Older diagrams use different numbers

Carefree's older 2010 17-item SOKIII illustrated sheet is still available, but it does not use the same numbering as the newer 19-item chart. For example, the older sheet lists XL center-support plate #8 as R036428-001, while the newer service list specifies R001258 for #8. It also identifies the front cover as #12, while the newer list uses #13. Match both the manufacturer part number and the document revision, never the callout number alone.

The current online chart and the 2018 service-manual chart also differ in the stated package quantity of front-cover bumpers (#15); confirm the seller's current carton quantity before purchasing this reference.

Complete SOKIII covers — not individual replacement parts

If the full topper is needed rather than a small service component, the following are separate complete-awning product examples in NewRVParts. Room-width bands are product-specific; neither example establishes compatibility with your coach without measuring the slide room and checking the required case/fabric style.
