View matching part numberCompatibility: Longitude conversion to Compass and Altitude replacement procedures are different. Do not mix left and right arms, motor and idler heads, or production revisions based solely on a common MPN. Never disassemble a powered or spring-loaded awning without following the original manufacturer's service procedure.
Have the newer vertical-arm design? Compare the Compass parts diagram. If your original awning is Longitude, use the separate Longitude parts diagram; do not mix arm assemblies by appearance.
