How To Extend a Solera Power RV Awning from 10 to 12 Foot Long
Question:
I have a new trailer with a 10’ solera electric awning using roll V000211446. If i relocate one support can i upgrade to 12’ with this part? V000211455 I think i can just relocate the support to 12’ and a V000211455. Thanks,

Yes, if you relocate the support arm on your Solera Power RV Awning you can then switch over to the Solera 12' Black Fade RV Awning Roller and Fabric part # LCV000211455. Once you obtain the new roller tube you can insert it into the support arm on the trailer, then the free support arm can be slide onto the roller tube. This will then give you the correct location to install the free support arm. I have attached a photo of this for you as well.
Please note you are also going to need to extend your awning rail as well with the Solera Awning Rail Extrusion part # LC715217 which is the shortest length available.

Would this work on an older Airstream Class B, I have a 190B and am looking for an awning. How would it faster to rig?
