The closest manual to power conversion kit that we have to your 73" arms is the Solera Smart Arm 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit # LC759405 (for white) or # LC759517 (for black) which are 69".

We have contacted the manufacturer in the past regarding your particular model information and it appears you might have an older design. With that being said there are a couple of things you can quickly check on your current awning to verify if this will work for you.

First make sure that your awning has an 8 foot projection when it's pulled out. If it's any shorter or longer, the hardware with this kit won't work properly. Also measure the diameter of your existing roll tube to make sure it is 4-1/2 inches.

If your Dometic awning meets both of these requirements then this kit will work for you.
