The kit # LC434717 that you referenced won't work with your power Carefree awning but if your awning is a Spirit, Fiesta, Simplicity, Traveler, or Eclipse and you have room for 69" awning arms you can use the kit # LC434727 to replace your current setup. I reached out to my contact at Lippert who confirmed this for me.

The length of wire desired depends on your vehicle connection and your personal preference. You want enough slack for turning, but not so much for dragging as you mentioned. A little extra slack isn't a problem and not enough could lead to stress…
