You picked out a beautiful campsite for the weekend, a nice place to pause and relax. But before you can enjoy it, you have a whole checklist for getting your RV set up at your campsite. Getting your manual retractable awning extended is one of those tedious chores. Wrestling with your heavy canopy as you crank it all the way out, turn by turn, is exhausting and takes forever. It's time to find a better way to do this.
With a power awning, there's no bother and there's no effort: push a button and your awning rolls in and out, just like that. It wires right into your RV's power so it's always ready to go. If you ever find yourself without power, there's a manual override built into the drive head that you can use to retract or extend your awning with a power drill (not included).
Note: The manual override function is not available on 2017 Forest River Cherokee campers.
Best of all, this conversion kit is a great economical option. You don't need to buy new fabric or a new roller to upgrade to a power awning. You just need these new awning arms and endcaps, and you're good to go.
Automatic Rain Dump
One thing that can quickly ruin your camping trip is a broken awning. It's not easy or cheap to replace, and you can't really enjoy your patio without one. A big hazard to a healthy awning is rain: water pools in the fabric, stretching it out and putting strain on the arms with extra weight it wasn't designed to hold. Next thing you know, the fabric rips - the arms snap - the whole awning comes crashing down, slamming against your RV and leaving you with a big and costly problem.
For traditional awnings, it's up to you to run out in the rain and lower one of the arms yourself. If you're away from your RV when it starts to rain, you can only hope your awning isn't damaged when you get back. Solera awning arms are smarter than that. This conversion kit comes equipped with an automatic rain dump function. As soon as rainwater starts to pool in the fabric, one of the arms will automatically drop, giving your awning a pitched angle. The rainwater will then run off to one side, taking the pressure off your awning and your mind.
Manual Pitch Adjustment
It's hard to get your awning in just the right place to keep you in the shade all day, especially with those awnings that are pretty high off the ground. Sometimes you need just a little slant to your awning to keep the sun out of your eyes. The manual pitch adjustment built into these arms gives you that option. Simply pull on one of the arms at the friction joint to drop that corner. It comes down easily and holds itself there for as long as you need it. When it's time to retract your awning, there's no need to readjust it; the awning will slide back into place.

These work great and allow my wife to extend and retract the awning without help or even leaving the RV. I installed the Carefree wind sensor (auto retracts when wind blows/shakes it to much) which was a relatively easy install and fit into the motor head like it was made to fit there.
Very happy with the product.
by: John 05/24/2023
So far looks good. Will be a few days before it’s installed. Try contacting me then…..

After a year, it’s installed and working great. No issues, but on occasion it will hang up on one end. Not enough to make an adjustment.. I’m totally happy with it. Thanks etrailer for the great price…..
by: John01/28/2020
We watched the YouTube video several times which was very helpful for the installation. Hooking up the electric switch to the battery was a little tricky because we wanted it inside the RV. We had to buy a deep outlet box at the hardware store to fit the wires and switch to mount on the inside of the RV wall. All in all, it turned out good and looks and works great.
by: Gary12/01/2020
We are very pleased with the automatic conversion for our dometic awning. As we age it had become more difficult to extend and retract our manual awning. The automatic awning works as advertised and as designed.
by: Timothy 06/27/2023
Easy to install, had a year and still just as happy with our awning as when we installed it.

I sincerely apologize as it looks like this had slipped through the cracks. Customer Service will be in touch quickly so that we can have this resolved for you.
by: Shane 07/28/2023
This was a very cool upgrade it has. My stuff was not avadouble because it was older so I retroed everything over to this. And everything is working perfect, thanks again.
by: Cheryl03/31/2022
We removed the old manual arms from my 5th wheel as soon as I placed the order for the new power conversion kit. The kit came quickly. I had to wait a few days for the new awning to arrive. My fiance and I are 65 and had no problems installing the new power awning. We had to get a hand from our neighbor to help us with holding things up while we secured it. It only took us less than 3 hours and it works perfectly. It was so easy we are going to install the same system on our rv.

Converted my manual awning to power , should have done it sooner makes extending and retracting easy for any one to use

Evert thing went as planned definitely watch the short install video had a friend that got one shortly after seeing ours and broke a thumb while removing tensioner

The product works great. The issues I had with Customer Service is a completely different story. I haven't ordered from e-trailer since
by: G&D01/01/2022
We installed this to replace our original manual awning. The installation went well and it looks great. The biggest advantage is when the weather changes and you need to bring your awning in it retracts quickly. It also is an advantage for my wife since She is short and could not operate the old awning, all she has to do now is press the button.
by: Vic 08/26/2022
Converted manual awning to motorized awning….best thing I have done to my 2007 Tiffin Class “A” RV to date.
by: Wes 12/22/2021
Super fast shipping. You must have Santa's helper doing delivery. Easy to install the new unit ( did it by myself at the RV park). I should have done this years ago, so simple to lower and put up the awning now! With the old manual system we hardly every used the awning as it was such a hassle on our 2001 Winnebago Journey DL. Thanks for your help ordering the correct unit. A++ customer help, shipping and follow up. Thanks again, Wes Aldridge
by: Ray 06/09/2023
Great product and super fast delivery
by: Summer03/04/2021
The install was not simple but the product is great! It is worth the work to go from a manual awning to automatic so even the kids can roll it in on their own!

- Determining Correct Manual Crank To Power Awning Conversion Kit For Awning On 2006 Weekend WarriorDepending on which brand awning your 2006 Weekend Warrior has there may be a conversion kit to make it electric. For example if your awning is a Solera you can use the Solera Manual Crank Style to Power Awning Conversion Kit # LC337728 to convert it to electric. If you can tell me what brand awning you have I would be happy to see if there is a conversion kit made. I have also included a link to all of our awning conversion kits for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Convert Carefree Manual Awning to Power AwningThe Solera 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit - Universal # LC434724 that you referenced was designed to work as a replacement for Carefree manual awnings like you have so it would be exactly what you would need to convert yours to a powered setup. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Solution for Broken Awning Motor With Unknown ManufacturerFor your application I recommend picking up the Solera 12V Conversion Kit which uses 69" arms and comes in Black # LC434723 as well as White # LC434724. Unfortunately without as least a manufacturer name and part number for the motor or the part number for your awning system I'm unable to find a replacement for just the motor. Attached is a review video for the conversion kit for you to check out.
view full answer... - Replacement Awning Fabric For My 2004 Sunnybrook Mobile Scout 36 Foot Fifth Wheel When it comes to the replacing the fabric on your awning, The Solera 15 foot Replacement Awning Fabric - Sand Fade w/ Black Weatherstrip # LCV000334387 will work for you. This material will fit pitched or flat awnings. It is compatible with Solera, Dometic A&E, Carefree of Colorado awnings. The fabric is made from a heavy-duty, durable fabric which is made with premium 13.5-OZ vinyl. I attached a review video link below.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Convert Dometic Manual Open Awning to Powered AwningThe # LC434724 is actually the part you're looking for in this case. The actual dimensions of the awning fabric (16ft x 91 inches) won't really matter on this since you're just replacing the arms and will then remove the torsion springs on the roller, so the # LC434724 will be the part you're looking for. This kit will allow you to replace the manual arm on your existing Dometic awning with a powered drive head.
view full answer... - Replacing Complete Manual Awning with Electric Solera AwningThe Solera 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit - Universal - 69" Arms - White # LC434724 will absolutely work with a 20 foot awning like # LCV000231498. The motor is absolutely strong enough for that size awning. The awning and the other components are not available in a complete kit, but the conversion kit and awning are all you need as long as you have the awning rail that comes with most trailers. Since you already have that rail for your manual awning you will be set. If you didn't...
view full answer... - Lippert Solera Awning Power Conversion Kit Upgrade for Old Carefree AwningFor your Carefree awning, the Solera 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit - Universal - 69" Arms - White # LC434724 is my recommendation and will be a great upgrade. This kit includes the adapters needed for your awning rail roller. This will be a great upgrade for your awning and will be extremely similar to the kit you were considering. The Solera Plain Head Power Conversion Kit for Pitched Awnings (66-1/8" Arms) White # LC351393 will not work with your 2002 Carefree Colorado power awning.
view full answer... - Is it Possible to Need a Larger Gauge Wire with the Solera 12V Electric RV Awning Conversion KitWhen installing the Solera 12V Electric RV Awning Conversion Kit # LC434724 you will need to use 14 AWG or larger as necessary to provide 12V minimum at all times at the connection to the LCI-supplied power cable. Since you are running a longer distance, you will want to use the larger 12 gauge wiring like the 12 Gauge # 12-1-1.
view full answer... - Recommended Manual To Power Conversion Kit for an A&E Sunchaser AwningI have two manual to power awning conversion kits that will work with your A&E Sunchaser Awning, the Solera 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit part # LC434723 for black or part # LC434724 for white and the Solera 18V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit part # LC434729 for black and part # LC434730 for white. The main difference between the two kits is that the 12V option will wire directly to your battery which requires you to do some routeing of power wires whereas the 18V option uses a rechargeable...
view full answer... - Correct Conversion Kit for Dometic Awning with Burnt Up Motor I do have an option for you but motor awning motors are specific to the arms so in order to switch to a different motor which may be the only option if the unit is old enough you'll also need new arms. The best option we can offer would be a conversion kit, the Solera 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit part # LC434724 for white or part # LC434723 for black. These kits will allow you to use your old roller tube and fabric.
view full answer... - Does Solera 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit Work With Dometic 8500 Series AwningGood question, and while the Solera 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit doesn't work for every Dometic awning, I double checked with the manufacturer for you, and it does indeed work with your Dometic 8500 Series awning. It will work with the Dometic 8500, 9000, 9100, Sunchaser and Weather Pro awnings, so it'll work for you! The conversion kit also comes in your choice of either White or Black: - Black: Solera 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit # LC434723 - White: Solera 12V Power RV...
view full answer... - Does Solera Awning Use Cotter Pin or Screw to Connect to Motor ShaftIt looks like some of the Solera awnings use a cotter pin while others use a wax screw to connect the roller tube cap to the motor pin so it just depends on what kit you have. For example, the Solera 12V Electric RV Awning Conversion Kit # LC434724 uses cotter pins for this purpose. If you let me know what kit you're installing I can let you know what you'll need although the kit should have come with the parts needed to make the conversion.

- Recommended Awning Arm Upgrade Kit for an Older Carefree One Touch AwningSince the Carefree One Touch has been discontinued I recommend upgrading your arms to the Solera 12V Electric RV Awning Conversion Kit # LC434724.

view full answer... - Will the Solera Manual Retractable Awning Kit Work W/ A Mid-90's Camper? The Solera Manual Retractable Awning to Electric RV Awning Conversion Kit # LC329250 was designed to work with Solera awnings, so if you have an older Solera awning this'll work great. If not, you'll have to use a more universal option like the Solera 12V Electric RV Awning Conversion Kit - 69" Arms - White # LC434724. This kit will replace the support arms on your current awning with electric arms, so it'll do the same job as # LC329250 but instead of just replacing the older heads,...
view full answer... - How is Roller Tension Put into RV Awning RollerWinding the roller to get the proper spring tension comes down to installing everything on the roller and arm side except for attaching the fabric to the awning rail that holds it. This is where you wind the roller 14 times away from the RV body and then once you get to that point attach the fabric to the rail. The motor does not automatically put in the correct tension.

Either of these kits will work beautifully as an upgrade for your current Dometic system, includes a 110-Volt charging kit, and offers a quick and easy installation. The Solera Manual Pull Style to Power Awning Conversion Kit, White # LC329250 that you inquired about...
