saflyer Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Does anyone know which brand and model the slide toppers on a 2005 Holiday Rambler Ambassador might be? I realize they might have been stalled after purchase but I’ll accept a first guess. Ed Edited January 26, 2022 by saflyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joefromperry Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 If you have access to your coach's build sheet, the info is probably on that. That's where I found the information to replace the toppers on my 2003 Monaco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhReally Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Don't worry about the brand and model, just take your dimensions to the Throgmartins (also RV'ers), at Stone Vos (http://stonevos.com/) in Florida. They have a choice in materials and I'm sure one of their materials will match your currently installed toppers. -Jamie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick A Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I just measured them as per Shade Pro’s instructions and ordered. Fit perfectly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary M Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I got all four slide toppers from Stone Vos. Tried working with Shade Pro but they just couldn’t get it right. Not toppers though, a dash cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96 EVO Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 '05 they were likely using Carefree SOK11, but that's just a guess. Not sure what year they began installing SOK111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1nolaguy Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Are you speaking of the topper fabric or the mechanism? My 2005 Safari has Carefree of Colorado, which may be the same as yours. Stone Vos is your best go to for replacement toppers (fabric part) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yours tapers to a point almost it is the SOKll which was discontinued. Check eBay maybe for parts if Stone Vos can’t help you.

saflyer Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 If discontinued and parts aren’t available from manufacturer it’s the same situation as the unavailable endcaps for Carefree’s windshield shades. Perfect case for 3D printing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhReally Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Definitely Carefree of Colorado. I haven't seen this variation before. Usually the topper doesn't have a complete aluminum cover when rolled up, only a deflector. Yours looks like a cross between Carefree Omega II and Kover II (both obsolete I think). I suggest you contact Stone Vos as they do some 3D printing and may take on this job for you. -Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throgmartin Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 It is a Carefree SOK 2. The supply of end caps in the USA are pretty much gone. I have not been able to find any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StellaTariche Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 That part (looks like a snail) is the end cap of the Carefree of Colorado SOK II (discontinued). If you have a 3D printer (or access to one - Local public library, almost any college engineering student), you can download the model and print it for the cost of the filament (about $3). I just printed a replacement for mine in matching silver. You would print yours in black. www.Thingiverse.com has a bazillion printable parts like this (Dyson vacuum parts, car parts, all kinds of stuff) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4933180 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent me a paper template to make another one but then emailed me they couldn’t do it. I will definitely give waderv.com a call. 3 hours ago, throgmartin said: It is a Carefree SOK 2.

I just 3D printed mine (ok, my 5th year engineering student printed them for me) because I’m allergic to paying $200 for plastic parts I’d have to repaint anyway You can leave them as they come from the printer (with a slight surface pattern) or spray them with high build primers, lightly sand and paint your favorite color. Remember, they are 12 ft off the ground and the raw 3D printed ones look just like the originals at that distance. 3D printers are down to $150. A spool of black filament is $20, and will last you a looong time. _—————— The Ender 3 regularly goes on sale for $149. Creality is selling it, directly, for $213 right now. It's a legit budget printer. Edited January 26, 2022 by StellaTariche New info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
