That's an excellent question, so I reached out to the manufacturer, who told me you would not be able to convert your standard Solera power awning to the Smart Arm by adding the Replacement Controller and Touchpad # LC717666. They said you will need the conversion kit with new awning arms because the Smart Arm has different wiring than the standard power awning, allow for its functions.
So you can convert to the Smart Arm awning and add the wind sensor with the conversion kit, and you... view full answer...

We do have a conversion kit with replacement awning arms that may work for you, depending on one measurement you need to take. What you will want to do is measure your Dometic awning's fabric extension; if the fabric (when extended) measures 9 feet 8 inches (116 inches) or less then you can use the Solera conversion kit in either white or black:
- Black: Solera 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit # LC434723
- White: Solera 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit # LC434724 view full answer...
While some Solera awning rollers, such as the Solera RV Awning Roller and Fabric, # LCV000211505 that you referenced, have been known to fit some Dometic arms, we cannot confirm all possible configurations will or will not fit. Mixing parts from two manufacturers has it challenges unless the component(s) has/have been intended from design stage to fit across different platforms.
My recommendation is to select a set of Solera arms to go with your new awning roller and fabric. Or purchase... view full answer...
The 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...
For the 69 inch arms in black you will need the Solera 12V Electric RV Awning Conversion Kit - 69" Arms - Black # LC434723 and then for the roller tube and 14 foot fabric in black you need the Replacement Roller and Fabric Kit for 14' Solera Power and Hybrid RV Awnings - Solid Black # LCV000211468. view full answer...
No; every piece needed is not available separate so you will need to get the same color hardware and fabric for an awning on your 156 inch slide. The correct fit is the following:
- White: Solera RV Slide-Out Awning # LCV000163300
- Black: Solera RV Slide-Out Awning # LCV000168109 view full answer...
The Solera Family Room for RV Awnings, # LC362235 works with awnings that measure 20' from center of one arm to center of the other arm. If your measurement is relatively close to 20 feet, this is the add-on room for your awning. This is designed for use with Solera Classic, Hybrid, and Solera 12V power awnings, Carefree Fiesta, Spirit, Pioneer manual, Traveler, and Eclipse 12V power awnings, Dometic Sunchaser, 8500 manual, Weather Pro, and 9100 series 12V power awnings. view full answer...
The 18' Wide Solera 18V Power RV Awning does only come in two colors, Black Fade or White Fade. The Black Fade starts off (closest to the RV) dark and gets lighter towards the end, while the White Fade starts off light and gets darker. The two options are:
- Black Fade: Solera 18V Power RV Awning - 18' Wide # LC729505
- White Fade: Solera 18V Power RV Awning - 18' Wide # LC730510

The only other part you will need if you don't have it already is the Solera Awning Rail Extrusion - Black - 8' Long # LC715217.
That will let you connect the Solera 12V XL Power RV Awning - 13' Wide - Extra-Long 9'8" Projection - Black Fade
# LCV000334926-362243 fabric to the RV if you do not already have one.
And just in case you need to seal anything up you can use Alpha Systems Butyl Tape for RV Weatherproofing - 20' x 1" x 3/16" # AL28FJ.
This will be all you need to install this... view full answer...
My suggestion is the Solera 18V Power RV Awning, 18' wide with a rechargeable battery in white fade, # LC730510 or in black fade, # LC729505. This battery-powered awning attaches to your RV and extends and retracts with the flip of a switch. It has the rain dump feature that releases pooled water automatically. The battery operation means no need to run wires into your RV and the rechargeable battery operates 22-25 times between charges. view full answer...

The hardware kit and the awnings are sold separately. The Solera Manual Hardware Kit I recommend is part # LC434727.
This would work well with the Solera Sand Fade w/ Black Weather Guard RV Awning # LCV000223163. view full answer...
The Solera 12V XL Power RV Awning colors do only come with the fades as opposed to the single colors; so an all-black option for the awning is not available, it is just the fade.
For the 11 foot awning you do have the correct part, which is the Solera 12V XL Power RV Awning - 11' Wide - Extra-Long 9'8" Projection - Black Fade # LCV000334909-362243.

The black fade awning on the Solera Smart Arm 12V Power RV Awning - 20' Wide - Programmable - Black Fade Item # LC517517 is black on RV side and turns white as it goes towards the roller tube. Because of this the white will roll up inside of the black and when closed will be only showing the black. view full answer...
The Solera RV Slide-Out Awnings are shipped in a well packaged rectangular cardboard box. That said, there is really not much that can be bent in shipping as the fabric encases the roller tube and will protect this pretty much on its own. I looked through some of our reviews and did not see any comments of components being bent upon arrival but you are free to do so yourself as well.
I have attached for you a list of all our Solera RV Slide-Out Awnings. In order to choose the correct... view full answer...
