To pick out the correct awning fabric size you need to measure center of arm to center of arm on your awning and order that size.

For example, the Replacement Awning Fabric for 10' Roller Assemblies # LCV000334335 is for 10' roller assemblies and works with Solera, A&E and Carefree of Colorado awnings.

I've added a link to our selection of fabric for you to check out once you have the center of arm to center of arm measurement.

When installing/adjusting the Solera RV Slide-Out Awning #LCV000163285 tension is applied by rotating the awning roller 14 times. This should apply the needed spring tension so that the fabric doesn't billow in the wind or leave enough slack that…

According to my research, your 92865A-1 hub/drum has a 25580 inner and an 14125A outer bearing and a 8 on 6-1/2 inch lug pattern, as does the AxleTek #AKHD-865-7-2-K hub drum you referenced. The #AKHD-865-7-2-K would be an acceptable replacement for…
