Since you have a 16' awning already I recommend the Solera 12V XL Power RV Awning # LCV000334965-362241. The arms are 72" in length so you'll want to ensure that there isn't something in the way that would interfere with mounting them to the wall of your motorhome.
Overall, the installation is very easy but you'll want to have a few extra hands to help maneuver the roller around or hold the arm brackets in place while you mount them. I also recommend using some butyl tape # AL28FJ to form a watertight seal for your mounting screws.
