Is There A Complete Solera Awning Kit For Available To Replace A 22' Dometic A&E Awning
Question:
I have a 2000 Fleetwood Discovery 36T. It has an AandE 22’ outside edge of arms. I’m looking to replace the complete unit with a manual or electric awning in white. What do you have that might meet these measurements? Thanks

Expert Reply:
The largest size we currently offer is 21', with 21' being spacing from center to center of the arms. The closest option in this size to what you're wanting would be the Solera XL 12V Power RV Awning # LCV000335015-362241, which has a black to white fade awning fabric. I recommend measuring your current arms from center to center to see what you have and then seeing if there would be an issue with sizing down to 21'. If you did switch over you could fill in the old mounting holes with some sealant. I also recommend using some butyl tape # AL28FJ on the back of the Solera arms to waterproof the new mounting screws.
At this length the roller tube can start to sag and bounce as you drive so I also recommend installing an awning cradle support # LC289373 ( black # LC289374 ) to help prevent sag.
