Can the Solera Awnbrella Support be Added to Carefree Awning?

Question

Question:

Seems that the installation is drilling holes into the awning tube and mounting brackets to the RV. I have a Carefree awning rather than a Sunbrella on the RV. But there is no support brackets for the Carefree. Does it seem reasonable that the installation of Awnbrella support arms will work on a Carefree awning?

The Solera Awnbrella Support Kit for 8' Projection RV Awning - 3 Pack # LC362237 is designed to work with most 8' projection awnings that are between 14' and 18' wide. Though I could not find anything about these being used with a Carefree awning, as long as the measurements match your awning, you will be good to go.

We have roof rack options for your 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan but nothing from Rola and none that would attach beneath the rubber strip you mentioned. Instead we have the Thule roof rack part #TH712500, #TH480R, and #THKIT1043 which would be a great…

Yep, the fit kits for a Thule roof rack on a 2022 Ford F-250 and 2019 F-150 Crew cab are indeed the same; they're not part 521 though, the correct part number is the following: - Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp and Edge Clamp Roof Rack Feet - 5271…

I was not able to locate anything on that part number, however since you have a 2016 model year trailer there is a good chance the awning was made after 2015 in which you'd need the Replacement Motor for Solera Power RV Awnings Manufactured after…

Answer 10

We do have something that will help. Honestly, your best option for noise reduction is to roll the awning up. That said, since your awning has the Solera Smart Arms you can add the Solera Smart Arm Wind Sensor Kit #LC715123. The Solera Smart Arm Wind…

Without seeing your awning, I have no idea of how many parts you might need. I do know you have the Solera Awning, model V000431840. If you need to replace this awning's entire single arm assembly, which is the pitch arm and the gas strut, you…
