I never noticed my '05 Patriot had a slideout room "curtain" until it stopped working. This curtain hides the (HWH) slideout mechanism from view when the slide out is in.
When I ran the curbside front slide out in the other day, the curtain material bunched up behind the seat instead of retracting into the roller. Then I noticed the roller mechanism was loose at the bottom (it mounts to the wall behind seat with a single screw at top and bottom). In the photo below, the roller mechanism has been unattached from the wall.
It turns out the plastic end cap (at bottom) on the roller has its mounting tab broken off. There is a tag on the back of the roller that says it was made by Carefree of Colorado (p/n DI079QBJE01). I re-wrapped the material around the roller and rewound the center spring. I think it will work fine now - if I can get the bottom end cap (needed for mounting).
I could not find any info on this "curtain" on the CoC website. I sent them an e-mail.
What is this thing called (is it a "slide out curtain", a vertically mounted "Sunshade")? I would like to have more information on it -- is this curtain common on the Beavers? Hopefully there are still parts available for this.
