Our awning has both mechanisms at the top of the arms broken. See photos. I was able to find the right hand replacement cover on Amazon. But, I am not able to find one that fits the left arm…. Any idea where I can buy these covers….. thanks….
Also, any idea how these get broken? I bought the camper used and the individual s did not know how they broke? Thanks

If you open the awning all the way you'll see a label on the tube with the awning info, so start there.
I also had them fall off from both ends of my Longitude (which is discontinued!), but I was able to get them from Carefree. I put a dab of glue on mine and they have held on for several years.

I don't know if mine are the same, but I bought these Carefree RV Longitude Awning Idler Cover, Left Side, Black . They fit my awning perfectly.

It's a poor design of Tab A into Slot B, and they don't stay very well. I put a couple pieces of black Gorilla tape on mine so they don't go astray again.
Same as ours and I did the same thing with wrapping tape around the cap to keep it on. With wind catching the cap the little tabs get week and break and the cap goes flying. GDRV sent me a couple of new ones free, but that was a few years ago .

Hey Howard, a long time ago we spoke about missing hubcaps on our RAMs, Yeah the cost for OEMs are outrageous ! Looks ugly without them. I finally gave in and bought some aftermarket, so far they've stayed on !

To be honest, I've never checked what Ram wants for the hubcaps, but I'm not surprised they're high. Peggy bought a set of aftermarket when we bought our truck, and we've had good luck so far. I carry a small pry bar for removal, and a dead blow hammer to replace them. They do fit tight. :)
