Carefree Freedom Roof Mount awnings have separate manual-crank and motorized parts arrangements. Use the factory diagrams below to locate drive components, lateral arms, support hardware and roof brackets before choosing a replacement by manufacturer number.
Freedom Roof Mount factory drawings
Carefree's current service manual contains separate exploded assembly views for the current 12V motorized system and manual-crank system. Use the correct drawing for your awning's operation and original drive end.
For older powered arrangements, use the original 4 m-and-shorter motorized diagram or the original 4.5 m/5 m drawing. The original large-awning motor is identified separately from the current system.

Choosing a roof mounting bracket kit
Flat roof: Carefree lists BS0001 for compatible Freedom RM awnings up to 4 m; bracket installation hardware is installer supplied. Sprinter: BS0002 is the matching roof-rail bracket kit for supported Sprinter applications, up to 4 m.
Hymer SX and ProMaster/Ducato have separate manufacturer bracket instructions. The roof profile and vehicle structure determine the approved installation hardware; do not substitute a similar-looking bracket.
Centre spring arms: Longer 4.5 m and 5 m motorized units have a different centre arm, identified by Carefree with a blue dot near the case connector. The centre arm and outer arms are not interchangeable.
