Identify your awning: Carefree identifies Compass arm style code TA and several roller assembly families. Look inside the lower arm channel for the arm part and serial number and on the roller tube for its identification. Verify the complete number, side, colour, roller length, LED and optional speaker configuration before ordering.

The factory also identifies part R041651-001 only as a spacer for certain Longitude-to-Compass conversions.
