The Carefree Rafter VII has a separate front-end mounting assembly and linked rafter structure. Its numbered illustration identifies the outer and inner arms, mounting tip, ground-support assembly, cradle and carport foot.
Before selecting a replacement: Rafter VII is not a direct substitute for Rafter VI. The current Carefree parts list identifies R00871WHT as the white outer arm and the R00872 family as the linked inner arm; the Rafter VI R00123W and R00720 arms belong to the older assembly.
