What Size Solera 12V XL Power RV Awning Do I Need to Replace My Existing Awning

Question

Question:

I have a 2018 Grand Design Solitude with a existing awning that I want to replace. I am wanting a Solera XL to replace the existing for the addition shade. The current awning has a center to center dimension of 145. Can I get one made to these exact dimensions? If so how do I accomplish this.

The replacement for your current awning on your 2018 Grand Design Solitude would be the Solera 12V XL Power RV Awning - 12' Wide - Extra-Long 9'8" Projection - White Fade # LCV000334919-362241. This awning is 12' wide, or 144", center arm to center arm.

The Solera XL awnings aren't made to specific dimensions, but instead are just standard sized. To make up for the 1" difference, you will have to slide one arm over an inch when installing.
