Your coach is going to be right on the cusp as to when there was a switch in the motors and there are potentially 2 motors that will work for you. The most likely replacement motor is the Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor # LC266149, which was designed for awnings made before July 2015 (which should be your awning if it came from the factory attached). When you remove the motor it should have 2 loose wires with spade terminals on each end as the connectors; as long as yours matches this power connection then you'll want the # LC266149.

If your motor has a single plug with the wires connected to it then you'll want the Replacement Motor for Lippert Solera Power Awnings Manufactured after 2015 # LC373566.

The #LC266149 is designed to work with Solera awnings that were manufactured before 2014, where the #LC373566 is designed for awnings built after 2015. Yes, the main noticeable difference is going to be the plug, but that directly effects how it is…

The Solera awnings do not use a spring that applies tension on it so that won't be a concern. What you will want to do when installing the Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor #LC266149 is to bring the awning out about 12 inches or so and then…

Answer 5

Sounds like the awning is binding up around half way out which is causing the motor to try and work too hard and blowing the fuse. Take a look at the relative angle of the awning to the top of the RV. An out of level awning will bind up so there…

I checked with the manufacturer for you, and they say that the Solera Awnings are slower when they retract. If you are sure there are 12 volts by testing with a multimeter the next thing to do is ensure the pitch arms aren't bent at all, which…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

You are correct that this refrigerator does not have an ON/OFF switch or function. The best you can do is "Standby" that draws an unknown amount of power. One option is to pull the 12-Volt fuse at the RV power center. A much better option…

Answer 12

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
