Battery-Powered Awning Makes Camping Easier
All awnings shield your RV patio from sun and rain, but this Solera awning is unique in that it is battery-powered and has the switch built right into the awning arm. You don't have trudge in and out of your RV to get it extended or retracted, and you don't need to be hooked up to a power source - if you like dry camping, this is perfect for you! Better yet, you don't need to do any hardwiring to get this installed.
You can extend and retract the awning 20 to 25 times on a single charge. Once the battery is drained, the included charge kit plugs into any 110V wall socket and connects to the battery pack built into the arm - don't worry, you won't need to remove the battery pack to charge it. It can take about 48 hours for it to fully charge again.
If you end up running out of battery before the patio party is over, you can always use your power drill (not included) to pull the awning back in thanks to the manual override.
Auto 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 isn'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 so the water can run off. 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. This Solera awning solves this problem: it 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 the awning a pitched angle. The rainwater will then run off to one side, taking the pressure off the awning and your mind.
Adjust Arms for Best Shade
It's hard to get your awning in just the right place to keep you in the shade all day, especially if you have one that's 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 the arms of this Solera awning 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 the awning, there's no need to readjust it; the awning will slide back in no matter what pitch the arms are set at.
Durable Vinyl Fabric
The durable fabric of this awning is made to hold up to the rigors of the outdoors. It's made of premium 13.5-oz vinyl, an upgrade over the 10-oz fabric used in many awnings. It also features heat-welded seams to prevent leaks and is cold-crack protected to -25 F.
Simple Installation
An awning rail is required to anchor the fabric of the awning to the RV, and your first step will need to be installing one (LC715216 - sold separately) if you don't already have one on your RV. You will need a minimum of 2-1/2" between the awning rail and the top of the entry door. You'll also need 69" of open space on the RV wall - from the awning rail straight down - so that the wall-mounted brackets for the awning arms can be installed.
The roller tube comes with the awning fabric already mounted and attaches to the awning arms. The other side of the fabric slides into the awning rail on the RV. Then use the included self-tapping screws to secure the arms to the wall-mounted brackets. Because this awning is powered by the self-contained, rechargeable battery, no wiring is required.

Super great quality, easy to install and works awesome!! Thank you Greg S for all your help, you did a great job getting me what i needed in my very short time frame!!

I have not been able to install my awning and cradle support yet. I'm giving 5 stars for the customer service I have received from the ordering process to receiving. There was a slight glitch (missing component) but was remedied quickly without hassle.

Well, Our Motorhome "Patches" manual 18' awning had outlived its life having performed admirably since 2003. Sadly it had become so road worn & tattered, we were ashamed to get out the gear & gumption to roll it out. Just too ruff looking for public viewing. Not counting the pain it was to deploy. we finally decided to replace it and found this great deal on etrailer for Solera 18'cordless power awning. Cordless. Power. One finger. Built in rain dump. No more trying to hook that little bitty loop 10' in air with a 4' rod looking into the sun & with Solera's automatic rain dump, no more rushing back from hiking or, fishing to roll that rascal in. Can you say, Bliss? Now the first one got a little jammed up in shipping & had to go back But, as soon as the folks at etrailer got confirmation it was returning, (the same day) they got another on out to me. (Ms. Ashley) And it arrived in vert short order. I cannot say enough good things about the folks at etrailer.( Ms. Ashley, Ms. Helen, Bro. Alex) Every single person I talked to was Professional, Polite, & Knew their stuff. Just like All of America used to be. But I digress, the Solera 18v Power Awning was fairly easy install with help from my Son. And guess what? No hunting for a power source! Toughest thing really was getting the old one down & disposing of it. The instructions were easy for a Man to understand & follow, (lotsa Pictures) & a really good hardware kit. I could not be happier! We had it installed and working in very short order taking plenty breaks. No more shame of ratty awning! No more aching back from jumping up & down reaching! No more sun blindness! Did I Say Bliss yet? So, if you're in the market for a new power awning, and you Don't want to spend a ton of money, do a lot of wire chasing, or fight with herd of disgruntled employees, and generally have a crappy day, Do yourself a favor and give these folks a call, or, email, or carrier pigeon, Just give them a chance. This is a great company selling a great product, And they are both MADE IN AMERICA! BTW, The handsome fellow on the roof is not me, He's my oldest son.

I really like my 18V electric awning no wiring to install, works great!
by: James M12/21/2022
Still love this awning after 1 year! My motor home is 17 years old. This is my third (and best) awning. This is a very nicely designed piece of hardware. It bolts directly to the side of the motor home with two I-beams, so it is very sturdy. There was no wiring necessary since the battery is self-contained with an external charging connection. The installation video provided by ETrailer made the installation easy, with two helpers. Since it is battery operated, it's a breeze (pun) to extend or retract when its breezy outside. I've only had to recharge the battery once. Thank you ETrailer for another great product!

Delivery too long and then awning wasn't correct. Will not have an awning for our 3 week vacation starting this Saturday. Unbelievable!!!

What a great company and staff. Thanks to hard the hard work you performed in my behalf.
I had purchased a Solera 18 volt-20 ft awning package and had it shipped to Camping World in Minnesota.
Somewhere along the way the 20 ft awning escaped from the delivery truck.
I won't mention who the freight shipper is, but the awning is still on the loose.
After many calls to the freight shipper and etrailer the staff decided to send me another awning to help me get on the road for an upcoming trip with my RV.
Otherwise it would have ruined my trip.
Thanks to everyone and I will continue to be a loyal purchaser of the many fine products the company sells.
Hats off and a big salute!!!
Thanks Dino
P.S. I hope to post pictures after the awning has been installed.
Hopefully it will be found and returned to E-Trailer

good quality and no issues after one year! very satisfied
by: Timothy10/14/2022
Received my quicker than I expected. The switch was missing the handle and etrailer shipped me a replacement. Awning works great. Much easier then the manual awning.
by: William03/22/2022
This awning has been great. This awning was part of our "RV Renovation" project. It was a fantastic upgrade. It deploys and retracts without any issues. You can be set up in a minute without any problems. This unit is battery powered so there were no installation issues or wiring required which made it simple.
We do a lot of dry camping, and the battery capacity has not been an issue for us even when we have had to deploy and retract it multiple times during a trip.
by: Ralph02/25/2022
The awning itself works fair. The battery system totally sucks and has never worked properly and still doesn’t today. If I had my choice I would never buy this awning again. Product support was poor to say the least!
by: Kirk 09/09/2022
Delivered with boxes intact. All supplies were included and the awning is awesome!
by: Clyde 06/14/2021
love the awning works great only complaint is the instrution manual is not very good we kinda had to wing it.
by: Fred08/15/2020
Easy to order, fair price, quick delivery. The new awning is a great update to our 20 year old trailer.
by: Leon 03/07/2023
So far so good! We love it!

Love this awning!!! Sooo easy to put out and roll back up!
by: Derek 09/02/2022
Nice product. Quick service. Very plea sed.
by: Heidi 09/01/2020
It was easy to install, usage is easy with the battery power, however I would think the controls would be on the end where the door to my RV is not the other end, that's the only issue I have
by: Scoey07/15/2022
Great product easy to install looks great and works great

- How Long of an Awning Rail Is Needed for Solera 20 Foot 18V Power RV AwningIn order to install the Solera 18V Power RV Awning part # LC730523 you will indeed need to obtain an awning rail equal to the length of the awning. The Solera Awning Rail Extrusion part # LC715216 is sold in 8' sections so you will need to obtain three in order to span the width of the awning and then trim the last 4' off but this will be super easy to do.
view full answer... - Powered RV Awning That Doesn't Use The RV Battery We don't have AC powered awnings but we do have the Solera 18V Power RV Awning - 20' Wide - Rechargeable Battery - White Fade Item # LC730523 which is a battery powered awning that has an 110v charge adapter.
view full answer... - What Awning Sizes Are Available in the Solera 18v Powered AwningsNo, the 18v Solera awnings are not available in the 17' size. They are only available in 18' and 20'. 18' - Solera 18V Power RV Awning # LC730510 (white fade) or # LC729505 (black fade) 20' - Solera 18V Power RV Awning # LC730523 (white fade) or # LC729517 (black fade) We do have powered awnings in 17', but they are going to be 12v. 17' (12v) - Solera 12V XL Power RV Awning # LCV000334998-362241 (white fade) or # LCV000334961-362243 (black fade)
view full answer... - Does The 18V Solera Power RV Awning Have A Rechargeable Battery And Can An LED Be AddedThe Solera 18V Power RV Awning # LC730523 is rechargeable, and includes a 110V charger kit . The battery is able to run 22-25 times before needing to charged again. Unfortunately adding an LED light is not possible with this awning. Adding an LED kit is based on the awning fabric. To add an LED light you'd need to upgrade your awning arms with a conversion kit like the Solera Smart Arm 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit # LC759516. From here, you can add an LED light # LC674282.
view full answer... - How To Determine If Slide Out Awning Fits A 2001 Keystone Montana 3255RLThe Solera 18V Power RV Awning # LC730523 you mention, is 19'1" wide, or 229". This awning would be considered too large of a replacement for your 2001 Montana 3255RL. Instead, I recommend going with the: -Solera 12V XL Power RV Awning # LCV000334998-362241. This awning is 16'1" wide, or 192", which is a much better suited replacement. If you did want to use # LC730523 instead, you will need to verify fitment by measuring the entire width from flange to flange of your slide out. If...
view full answer... - Can Wind Sensor be Added to Solera 18V Battery Powered AwningIn order to use the Solera Smart Arm Wind Sensor Kit # LC715123 you will need to be using the Smart Arm assembly which comes in different sizes and colors (listed below). This kit is not compatible with the Solera 18V Power RV Awning # LC730523 that you referenced so if you haven't purchased or installed the 18V kit yet then I recommend going to the Smart Arm system. The Smart Arm system does use 12V power and doesn't include a battery like what comes with the 18V kit so you'll want to...

For a complete replacement for your 20' Sunchaser Awning 834AW20.401, I recommend the Solera 18v Awning - 20' # LC730523 (white fade) or # LC729517 (black fade). In order to complete the installation, you also need the awning rail # LC715216. We also carry the 12v XL 20' # LCV000334969-362243. This awning comes with an extra-long projection of 116 Inches compared to the 96 inches of the regular...
view full answer... - Can I Install the Solera 18V Awning # LC730523 to a Trailer with Aluminum Siding? Yes, you can use the Solera 18v Power RV Awning - 20' Wide # LC730523 with aluminum siding on your trailer, but there are some things you need to do in order to have the support you need with the self-tapping screws that attach the awning brackets to the outer sidewall of the trailer. What I recommend is to identify where the awning screws tap into the wall of the trailer. Then, on the inside of the trailer, mark off the location and install a board of plywood at least 3/8" thick x 1...

We do carry a battery operated 20' wide Solera RV awning part # LC730523 in a white fade. The white fade starts off as white color and fades into a darker gray color. It comes with a rechargeable battery that operates 22-25 times between charges and includes the 110V charge kit. The awning rail for this awning is sold separately as part # LC715216.

- Solera Awning Kit that Can Replace 10 Foot Awning of WinnebagoThe Solera awning kit part # LC730523 that you referenced could fit on your Winnebago but you should note this is a 20 foot long awning which would be twice as long as the 10 foot setup you have now. If you instead wanted something closer in size we have the part # LCV000334909-362243 which is 11 feet long. We don't have anything that is 10 feet in length.
view full answer... - Is 18V Hybrid Solera Awning Available in XL 9'8" SizeWe do have the XL 9'8" Solera Power Awning # LCV000334969-362243 which has a Black Fade design, but it (and all other XL Solera awnings) are only rated for 12V power so they aren't available in the 18V Hybrid version like part # LC730523 that you were looking at. This just means that you'll need to make sure you route the power to your 12V power system on your RV.
view full answer... - Is the Solera 18V Power RV Awning Available in All WhiteThe closest we have the Solera 18V Power RV Awning - 20' Wide - Rechargeable Battery # LC729517 available in white is the Solera 18V Power RV Awning - 20' Wide - Rechargeable Battery # LC730523, which is a white fade. Essentially the hardware and arms will be white, but the fabric topper will be a white fade (starts as white and fades to darker colors).
