Carefree R001714 Replacement Kit - Is there a better solution?

Our 2015 prowler awning light strip lasted basically 4 camping sessions and no longer works. I am seeing this to be a common theme with the Carefree led strips that are installed on Heartland products. Replacement cost is $73 retail ($111 CDN), but after finding some reviews on amazon.com for the replacement kit saying that they didn't last any longer, I am looking for ALTERNATIVE kits that may be better?

Anyone found a source for an alternative replacement to the Carefree strips?

The Carefree web site lists the replacement light strip as part R060746-001 which is not the same as I find listed most everywhere else (R001714). Perhaps they have a newer replacement part that may be better?

Has anyone purchased the LED replacement strip from Carefree directly or if you received a replacement from Heartland, what part number is on the package?
