Fix For A Solera Awning That Won't Stay Extended
Question:
The awning goes out fine and is ok not great even in no wind. Any breeze or wind and it folds up or will not stay extended, would this be caused by the struts being bad or another issue. The trailer is 2013 model and is a electrical awning 14’

It does sound like your struts are needing replacing. With that being said, I recommend checking out the :
- Replacement Gas Strut for Short and Flat Solera RV Awnings # LC280343.
This strut is designed to be used with Solera awnings, measures 26" extended, 15" collapsed, and has a maximum force exerted rating of 124-lbs.
You'll just need to remove your current strut and take some measurements, then find a strut that matches the measurements you need.
