Compatibility and service warning: On Ascent XL, spring kits are paired; the manufacturer recommends replacing both springs to maintain matched tension. Deflector slat options and bracket kits also vary with length. Powered awnings and spring-loaded arms can move unexpectedly; isolate power and follow the manufacturer service manual.

For a Carefree Alpine slideout cover, use the separate Alpine numbered parts diagram. The Alpine spindle and spring components are not identified by the Ascent drawing.
