Replaces the motor of your Solera 12V, 18V, and Smart Arm electric RV awning manufactured before 2015.by: Harold 07/31/2023
Had to watch the youtube video a couple of time to make sure I installed correctly. Everything went together well and our awning works like new. It was so easy, I didn't even need the wife to supervise.

This was for a power awning. It is still working a year later. Very easy replacement. Even though your up a ladder the replacement went very smooth. Helpful hint: spread a tarp under the ladder. You have to remove about 6 to 8 screws in the housing and motor mount. I dropped one in the grass. Took me forever to find it. They are black and pretty much disappear

We received our shipment as expected! I installed the the new motor in our awning. It was simple to install and the awning is running perfectly and is so quiet!
The customer rep, Stacy A., assisted us with our purchase. There was some confusion on my part about exactly what I needed and what I was ordering but Stacy was so knowledgeable she set me straight. I am so thankful that she did because the part we received was the part we needed! We will definitely be using etrailer.com for any other needs that might come up!

Our awning motor is still working great! It was easy to install and we were excited about getting the awning fixed. Like new again.
by: Jim M.08/04/2019
product only lasted a couple of months. Your motor still worked but didn't have enough power to roll the awning in. I had to manually assist to get the awning back in. So I had to buy another one. since yours didn't last, i purchased the replacement from another vendor. unless there's something else wrong that caused your product to fail, i'm disappointed in your product. I guess i'll find out if the replacement also fails in a couple of months. Since I only camp for 6 months out of the year, it will probably be next year before I know whether the replacement is still working or not as I just replaced this motor and there is only a couple of months left in the camping season this year.

This is exactly the replacement part that I busted on my camper awning. Dealing with etrailer was an easy and non-frustrating experience. The price was reasonable and the service is exceptional. I like calling and talking with people instead of just ordering from the website. Their website is well organized but actually talking to someone made the order a breeze. I highly recommend them for camper parts and other devices.
by: Shawn06/04/2018
This motor was a direct fit and easy to install. I read the question about installing, on his website, and it was extremely easy. Unroll 12 inches, support the arms, take the motor off. Reverse order to install new one.
The delivery was quick and delivered on the date specified in the email. They sent me a tracking number, so I was able to track it from shipping to delivery!
Best price from what I found looking, great follow-up, and great product. I will definitely order from etrailer.com again!

F Y I ,,, This has nothing to do with Etrailer !!
crappy motor, lci has issues! New motor unwinds the awning fine but rewinds very slow than stops. someone has to come up with a good after market motor to fix there issues. this is not the first go around with lci awnings ( 2 campers ) a 13 & a 17 ------- 5 motors all together. My new trailer, i demanded i would not take the unit with a lci awning on it.
the only good thing with this motor is you can put a drill on it to roll the awning in and out.
good luck folks,,,, read the reviews on this motor its not only me.
happy camping

It was so easy to install. I could’ve done it myself, but I hired someone to do it for me. The part was perfect and I now have a new perfectly running awning. Thank you.!
by: Patricia07/22/2018
I was so happy when I found the etrailer web site ! I had been trying to find the awning motor we needed for over a week, luckily I found etrailer.com. The ease of finding the part we needed was excellent and the awning motor was an exact fit. My husband put the motor on and now the awning works great. Thank you etrailer

Replacement awning motor Installation was straightforward. It works but the awning retract is very slow. Seems like the motor should have a little more power.
by: Richard K07/20/2019
Parts work well. Fifth wheel is easy to remove & replace as needed. It did take some work to install but overall I'm happy with the kit.
by: Dennis Z.- Gray Squirrel Campsites10/20/2017
Need a motor for an awning repair and Etrailer came through for us in flying colors.
Did a nice job in making sure we received the product and even provided instructions for the installation. The price was right and the shipping was speedy. We will use this company again.

by: Mark S08/14/2018
The product was easily identifiable on the website because of the pictures. I was able to locate an exact replacement quickly and easily. The part is exactly as advertised and for a good value compared to other sites. The priority shipping was reasonably priced too. I will be shopping from etrailer.com again!

I ordered a replacement motor for the awning on my travel trailer. Exactly what I ordered and very quick delivery. Works perfectly. Took 30 minutes to install. Couldn’t have asked for anything more.
by: Danny S05/06/2020
This motor worked great. It fit just like the original part. Etrailer is the best and they ship fast. They also have great technical support.

This is one of the best sites for trailer parts that I have ever used it is easy and they seem to have everything at a good price
by: Fred04/18/2020
Exact fit. It took longer to take the covers off then to install the motor. Hopefully the motor will last the life of the rv.

- How To Replace the Motor On a Lippert Power AwningAccording to Lippert, the awning will need to be extended 8-12" in order to gain access to the assembly head cover which can then me removed in order to give access to the motor. In order to extend the awning while the motor is bad you can use the manual override procedure which I have attached for you below. Please note you will need to support the arm while removing the motor in order to prevent them from falling. The correct replacement motor for you should be the Solera Power Awning...

- Troubleshooting Powered Awning That Trips Circuit Breaker When RetractingIf your powered awning trips the breaker on its motor circuit you might have a mechanical issue that is stopping the awning arms from retracting or the breaker on that circuit may not be the correct value. The motors in items like jacks and awnings will draw more power when they see a heavier load or a mechanical obstruction. You'll want to check the operation of the awning manually using the crank; this may help you determine where the problem is. The awning motor should have some indication...
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement Arm For Solera RV AwningThe replacement arms we offer for RV Awnings are designed to fit the Solera awnings. Finding the correct arm depends on the measurement of the wall-mount extrusion from top to bottom. I have attached a link to the product page on our website you can check out. We offer three different Black awning arms replacements. If you have the Solera Awning and need the shorter 61-inch arm you can order part # LC295743. If you have the standard flat awning you can order the 69-inch arm, part # LC281154....

- Solera Awning Will Not Retract Without Helping ItIt sounds like your Solera awning may have bent arms or a faulty motor. Check to see if anything looks bent; if the arms seem to be bent then you can match up the replacement arms on the attached link. If the arms seems to be in good working order then your motor may be slowly going out in which case you can replace it with Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor # LC266149. There is also the possibility that the motor is not receiving the correct voltage. Use a tester such as LCD Digital...

- LCI Solera Power Awning Replacement MotorIt does sound as if your motor like Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor part # LC266149 is drawing too much power during operation causing the fuse to blow when using it. The motor itself offers a very easy installation process done with simple hand tools and already has the Solera plugs installed so you simply plug it right in. This can save you some of the expense at the dealer by doing it yourself. One other cause could be a short in one of the wires running up the arm of you awning...
view full answer... - Replacement Solera Awning Motor 266149 and Grommet 27501For the motor we have the part # LC266149 which is exactly what you have. Then for the grommet part number we have the part # LC275071. This matches the dimensions you are in need of as well.
view full answer... - Availability of Left Side Motor for Solera Power RV AwningSolera Power RV Awnings only use a motor on one side. The Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor # LC266149 is designed for the right side of the awning with the drive head, there is no left side motor.
view full answer... - Do Solera Powered Awnings Use One Or Two Motors?No, there is only going to be one motor powering your Solera awning. If you are looking at the awning, the Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor # LC266149 is typically going to be in the arm on the right side.
view full answer... - Is Install of Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor # LC266149 Easy or DifficultThe install of the Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor # LC266149 would be very doable for the owner of an RV. It's just a few bolts that need to be removed and then a couple wires ran.
view full answer... - Solution for Needing Replacement Slide Out Arm BracketThe bracket you have broken is part of the slide out awning roller and could only be replaced by going with an all new assembly like with the part # LCV000165062 which would be correct if you needed a roller that measures 7 foot 1 inch. There's a good chance you'd need a different size though so if you could measure the width of your slide out from flange to flange I can recommend the correct part.

- Installing Lippert Components Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor The Solera awnings do not use a spring that applies tension on it so that won't be a concern. What you will want to do when installing the Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor # LC266149 is to bring the awning out about 12 inches or so and then secure the arms. Lippert suggests using zip ties on the arms to keep them in place. Once you have the arms secured it's just plug and play to install the new motor.
view full answer... - Installing The Replacement Motor On The Solera Power AwningThe Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor # LC266149 does not have an installation video at this time. However, the installation is not difficult. Before removing the motor, you want to open the awning about 12 inches and support the arms. This will remove the spring tension in the awning roller for an easy removal. You disassemble the protective housing, remove the bolts that hold the motor in place and then disconnect the 2 wires. To install the new motor, you simply reverse the...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Solera Awning Motor Retracting Slowly or StoppingI checked with the manufacturer for you, and they say that the Solera Awnings are slower when they retract. If you are sure there are 12 volts by testing with a multimeter the next thing to do is ensure the pitch arms aren't bent at all, which can cause issues. After that, they said to take a look at the ground wire before the switch, and make sure that has a good connection. Also make sure the switch is not damaged in any way, and if it needs replacing you can do that with the Solera...
view full answer... - How to Manually Operate Solera Awning Power HeadOne way to manually roll out a slide out awning is to use a power drill. There's a plug on the side of the awning head that allows a power drill to attach to so that you can power it in and out. I attached a picture that points it out.

- Are Solera Awning Motors InterchangeableThe appropriate Solera Awning motor is based on when your awning was manufactured. For Solera awnings manufactured through 2015 you need the Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor # LC266149. For Solera awnings manufactured after 2015 you need the aptly named Replacement Motor for Lippert Solera Power Awnings Manufactured after 2015 # LC373566.
view full answer... - What Is The Difference Between LC266149 And LC373566 Replacement MotorsThe Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor # LC266149 will work if your Solera awning was manufactured through 2015. If your awning was manufactured after 2015, you'll want to use the Replacement Motor for Lippert Solera Power Awnings Manufactured after 2015 # LC373566.
view full answer... - Solera Awning Motor Does Not Fully Close the AwningWe greatly appreciate your business and your kind words. Thank you! First, I would say before doing anything else take a look at the amperage, not the voltage, that is getting to the motor. It is possible that there is enough voltage but if there is something wrong with the battery the motor may not be getting the current it needs to operate. In that case it could just be a bad battery which you could test at a auto parts store. If it turns out that the battery is not the issue we do...
view full answer... - Is There a Replacement Motor That Allows the Solera Awnings to Retract FasterThe Solera awnings are a slower retracting awning. They will only go as fast as the correct motor will allow. The # LC266149 is for Solera awnings older than 2015 and the # LC373566 is for Solera awnings made after 2015. Unfortunately there is not a motor that is recommended for the awnings that will retract them faster.
view full answer... - LCI Solera Power Awning Blows Fuses When Powered 1/2 Way Out TroubleshootingNormally this happens when the awning is binding up as it's powering out. Check to make sure that it's powering out level from left to right as it's very possible that one side is higher than the other which is causing the awning to not roll up squarely and eventually bind up. This is almost always the issue when an awning motor wants to blow fuses when before it fully powers out.
view full answer... - What Would Cause Solera Power Awning to Blow Fuses Half Way ExtendedSounds like the awning is binding up around half way out which is causing the motor to try and work too hard and blowing the fuse. Take a look at the relative angle of the awning to the top of the RV. An out of level awning will bind up so there might be some adjustments needed. One way to manually roll out a slide out awning is to use a power drill. There's a plug on the side of the awning head that allows a power drill to attach to so that you can power it in and out. I attached a picture...

- Availability of Gear Kit for Solera Power Awning RollerWe have gear repair kits for the Solera power awnings with part # LC353964 but these gears are metal and you'd have to have a Solera power awning head. Can you see the brand that you have?
view full answer... - Replacement Motor for Solera Powered AwningYour coach is going to be right on the cusp as to when there was a switch in the motors and there are potentially 2 motors that will work for you. The most likely replacement motor is the Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor # LC266149, which was designed for awnings made before July 2015 (which should be your awning if it came from the factory attached). When you remove the motor it should have 2 loose wires with spade terminals on each end as the connectors; as long as yours matches...
view full answer... - Solera Power Awning Extends Half Way But Does Not RetractIn regards to troubleshooting your Solera Power Awning, the first thing you'd want to do is check your battery voltage. It should be at least 12 volts. If the voltage is good, check for objections in the arms which could be anything from a bent pitch arm to a foreign obstruction. If this checks out good as well you'll turn your attention to the motor. If you have a multimeter you'll need to test the power wire on the motor, if you get at least 12 volts here then it's likely the motor that...
