The Carefree Altitude Awning BT-12 Switch Only R019468-006 gives you simple extend and retract control over a powered 12V Altitude awning on the side of the van. Two rockers marked ON/OFF and EXTEND/RETRACT sit in a compact square plate that suits tight wall spots near the doorway. Hit extend when you pull up at camp, hit retract before you roll out, and the awning motor does the rest.

The housing is moulded plastic with a face close to 75 mm square and a shallow body that sits neatly in standard caravan wall cavities. Clear white legends stand out against the dark plate so you can see the switch at night under a small 12V light. The kit comes with the faceplate, switch body and screws, backed by a 1-year warranty from Carefree for normal caravan and RV use.

Q: Can I mount the Carefree Altitude BT-12 switch in a new wall location?

Yes, you can mount it in a new interior wall location if the wiring can be routed there safely. Make sure the wall panel is thick enough to hold the screws without cracking. Leave enough cavity depth for the rear of the switch body so it does not foul other fittings. Have a qualified installer handle any new wiring runs.

Q: Is this switch kit supplied with the rear mounting frame and screws?

Yes, the kit includes the front plate, the switch body, the rear frame and four mounting screws. That means you do not need to reuse old fixings from a damaged plate. The matching frame keeps the rockers aligned and supported. The screws are sized to suit standard caravan wall linings.

Q: Does this switch work with non-Carefree awning motors?

It is intended for Carefree Altitude BT-12 powered awnings only. Other brands or models may use different wiring layouts or current ratings. Using the wrong switch can damage the awning motor or wiring loom. Stick with the specified Carefree Altitude BT-12 setup for a direct replacement.

Q: Can I replace the switch myself at home?

Replacement involves low-voltage 12V wiring, so a competent person with electrical knowledge should handle it. Incorrect wiring can short the awning circuit or blow fuses. Many caravan owners get an auto electrician or service workshop to swap the switch. That approach keeps the setup reliable on long trips.
