Options for Different Connector Styles for Solera RV Awning Motor

Question

Question:

My Solera awning Lippert motor has a two plug connection. The replacement motor has a universal connection plug in. Per Lipperts site, I may need to replace the power harness if the connection is different. Instead of changing it completely, can I rewire it from the current harness where it exits the trailer, splicing a new universal wire rather than replace the whole harness? And if so, do you carry just a universal connector wire?

We have replacement motors for Solera/Lippert awnings that have a two pin connector like the part # LC373566. This is for awnings that were made after 2015. For awnings made before 2015 we have the part # LC266149. This uses two wires with spade connectors instead.

We don't offer any adapter harnesses but if you have something different you could pretty simply just use butt connectors to make the connection like the # DW05714.
