Ellen: Hey everyone, I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com, and today we're taking a quick look at the replacement head pin for Solera power awning gear drive head. Now this is going to be a direct replacement from Lippert for your drive gear head, this is going to be the pin that actually turns that fabric roller so that you can get your awning rolled out and back in without any issues. So something happened, this got bent or damaged somewhere along the way, or as you we're trying to replace some other components, this got broken. This is going to be a direct replacement for that pin.It's a half inch diameter and it measures about four inches long, just for referenced there. Has a little hole there to connect to our Cotter pin for that fabric roller, and then there are these little channels for our clip to fit into. So related items that you might need with this would be the bushing, and also that retaining clip.
Now these two things are related products on the product page for this on etrailer.com, so if you need the bushing and the retaining clip, you can pick those up separately.Basically that clip just pops all the way down on there, I just don't want to push it on and then not be able to get it back off, but that's going to do it for our look at the replacement head pin for Solera power awning gear drive head. If you need any other replacement parts for any of your Lippert components, you can always check etrailer.com, and thanks for watching..

Replaces the head pin of the plain-style drive head on your Solera 12V electric RV awning.The part did not quite fit. Need to grind another flat to allow the drive end of the pin to fit into the drive end slot. Also needed to widen the drive end cir-clip slot. All in all everything worked out.
Thanks
If I could give the 0 stars I would. Their company wouldn't return a part without using their shipping label which was four times the price of the part. When your trying to fix things and a company gives you a bigger headache that's what you get with these guys.
Fit perfectly and we are now back in bu siness
Glad you carry a bit of an obscure part that allows me to repair an otherwise $340 replacement motor & gear assembly when all I need was a the broken shaft.
This was an exact fit, replacement part for the Plain Style Solera power awning w/ the built-in speakers on a 2017 model year camper trailer. May also work for the Plain Style w/o the speakers.
Came in quickly would have received a 5 but I had to modify it to fit .
Arrived, installed, worked perfect
Justin was very knowledgeable and helpful.It took ten days to get the part through postal service which I knew that
The part is identical to my old pin the sheared off.
Perfect fit
Do NOT buy this. It’s the wrong part for Lippert Solera awning. The original is beveled on both sides where it goes into the drive. etrailers is rounded so it will not fit. Picture attached. I’m up a creek now with my awning in pieces trying to bend the old one back in place.

I reached out to my contact at Lippert, and based on your situation it seems like you have one of their new motors. This part is for their older style motors. We were able to get the new Gear Drive Head added to our website, part # 643917. This part is for their new line of awning motors.

Great product, very sturdy and saved me $300 for a new power head for my awning. Replacing the old pin is very easy anyone with very minor mechanical skills can do it. E-trailer is the best!

Great
Got the part and fixed the awning for $26. No telling what the dealer would have cost.
The items were delivered on time and worked out well , if I need more parts would order from y’all again
I ordered the wrong one...They sure got it here fast though...LOL
The product arrived very quickly - within a few days of my placing the order. The item was exactly as described on the website and worked perfectly to help repair my broken awnings. I highly recommend buying from this website, and the products they sell are of great quality.
Just what we needed, and fast delivery!
does not match with the very standard Solera power drive head AT ALL, DIY for hours to stuck it into the motor head just to get my finger injured and find out it does not even fit the roller side probably by 1mm and do not have the energy to keep DIY that side anymore!!! The head and back covers I bought together with the Pin do not fit at all too. Nothing in my entire package fit my total normal standard solera awning, a total waste of money. A different brand idler head from [onine vendor] fit perfectly with literally 3 mins of effort to put on. Had to buy a brand new original solera motor head for $[XX] from etrailer again with finger-cross as the [online vendor] motor drive head ($[XX]) running back order.
Exactly what we needed, thank you
Ordered with gear pack for same awning and had to highly modify! Gear pack end needed to be ground flat on second side and cuts for locking clips were not in correct spots!

This is designed to work with # LC266146. I would double check your motor unit and make sure it is the right model.
Part is not proper fit for awning, dimensions are correct with the exception of surface on gear side, needed to be flat on 2 sides, only flat on 1 side, otherwise it would be an exact fit
The pin end that fits into the Gear pack is incorrect. The pin needs two flat sides in order for it to fit the machined hole in the gear drive. The picture shows the flat end but it is only on the one side shown and needs to be on both sides of the pin. So I would need to grind or file the opposite side from round to flat. I will return the pin and look for a proper fit

Which drive head do you have? This part is intended to replace the head pin needed for Solera power awning gear drive head part # LC266146
The pin is not a direct replacement. Had t file a flat side on the pin so it would go though the gear.

The replacement pin is specific to the Lippert # LC266146 drive motor. If you have a different drive motor, the pin wont fit, or it might require modifications such as the one you described.
Not exactly what I needed the motor end should be flat on 2 sides this piece is flat only one side. Maybe I ordered wrong not sure. Shipping wasn’t good I paid for upgrade shipping got order later than was proposed

It depends on the Solera power awning gear drive heard that you have. This pin is intended to be use for the Solera Power Awning plain drive head part # LC266141. We do have another pin, part # LC93FR, that is the pin for the black drive head part # LC273478.
