• Can Solera Smart Arm Touchpad be Added to Solera Power Awning to Convert to Smart Arm
• 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.

• Is There A CAT6 Cable With A 90 Degree Bend Compatible With The SmartPlug RV Internet Inlet
• While we don't currently carry any CAT6 cables there are some out on the market that are rated for outdoor use due to their enhanced casing.

• Can The Jensen LED RV Smart TV Be Powered By A 12v Outlet
• The Jensen LED RV Smart TV # ASA38VR only runs off of 110v AC so you would either need to run a new outlet to the area this tv would be installed in or use a 12v option, which currently isn't going to be "smart" so you'd be stuck with a standard RV tv. You could easily run a new 15 amp outlet from your panel using some 12 gauge wire, the 15 amp outlet, single gang box, and a 15 amp circuit breaker. If this isn't something you feel comfortable doing then an electrician could easily accomplish...

• Is The Wire Sequence Flipped On The Rear Side Of The SmartPlug RV Internet Inlet
• I've attached a photo of the back side of the SmartPlug RV Internet Inlet # SM38FR below so you can see how it connects to your cables. The RJ45 connector inside of this inlet is a simple straight across connection point so you won't have to flip the wires to get everything lined up correctly. You would simply plug into the back side of the inlet the same way you do on the front side of the inlet.

• How to Tell if Replacement Controller For Solera Smart Arm Awning is Needed
• I'm sorry to hear about the troubles you are having with your awning, and you're right about the design; it certainly seems flawed if the AC water gets blown right toward the controller.

If there is, and the controller is not working, you will need the replacement: - Replacement Controller and Touchpad...
