This was for a power awning. It is still working a year later. Very easy replacement. Even though your up a ladder the replacement went very smooth. Helpful hint: spread a tarp under the ladder. You have to remove about 6 to 8 screws in the housing and motor mount. I dropped one in the grass. Took me forever to find it. They are black and pretty much disappear

We received our shipment as expected! I installed the the new motor in our awning. It was simple to install and the awning is running perfectly and is so quiet!
The customer rep, Stacy A., assisted us with our purchase. There was some confusion on my part about exactly what I needed and what I was ordering but Stacy was so knowledgeable she set me straight. I am so thankful that she did because the part we received was the part we needed! We will definitely be using etrailer.com for any other needs that might come up!

This is exactly the replacement part that I busted on my camper awning. Dealing with etrailer was an easy and non-frustrating experience. The price was reasonable and the service is exceptional. I like calling and talking with people instead of just ordering from the website. Their website is well organized but actually talking to someone made the order a breeze. I highly recommend them for camper parts and other devices.

F Y I ,,, This has nothing to do with Etrailer !!
crappy motor, lci has issues! New motor unwinds the awning fine but rewinds very slow than stops. someone has to come up with a good after market motor to fix there issues. this is not the first go around with lci awnings ( 2 campers ) a 13 & a 17 ------- 5 motors all together. My new trailer, i demanded i would not take the unit with a lci awning on it.
the only good thing with this motor is you can put a drill on it to roll the awning in and out.
good luck folks,,,, read the reviews on this motor its not only me.
happy camping

Need a motor for an awning repair and Etrailer came through for us in flying colors.
Did a nice job in making sure we received the product and even provided instructions for the installation. The price was right and the shipping was speedy. We will use this company again.

Sorry but I didn't get to use it. Upon further inspection of existing motor I was able to repair a loose wire that was causing the issue. Thanks for your prompt shipping and fair price. I will certainly purchase from you again.

The product was easily identifiable on the website because of the pictures. I was able to locate an exact replacement quickly and easily. The part is exactly as advertised and for a good value compared to other sites. The priority shipping was reasonably priced too. I will be shopping from etrailer.com again!

This part worked great for our 2011 Lance. It was very easy to install and it even had a feature our old motor did not. We can now manually back the awning in and out with the provided override. You may have to modify the wiring connections, but it is only two wires.

- Installing The Replacement Motor On The Solera Power AwningThe Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor # LC266149 does not have an installation video at this time. However, the installation is not difficult. Before removing the motor, you want to open the awning about 12 inches and support the arms. This will remove the spring tension in the awning roller for an easy removal. You disassemble the protective housing, remove the bolts that hold the motor in place and then disconnect the 2 wires. To install the new motor, you simply reverse the...
view full answer... - Lippert Solera Awning Blows Fuse When Trying To Extend ArmsThere could be one of two things that is not allowing your awning to extend. The first of which as you mentioned is a wire short so be sure to open up the head and pull the switch to look for loose or broken wires. If none are found then there could also be an issue with the actual arm so be sure to manually extend and retract the awning that way you can check to see if the arms are bent. If all else fails you will need to take the trailer into a dealer for service. The good news is that...
view full answer... - Installing Lippert Components Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor The Solera awnings do not use a spring that applies tension on it so that won't be a concern. What you will want to do when installing the Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor # LC266149 is to bring the awning out about 12 inches or so and then secure the arms. Lippert suggests using zip ties on the arms to keep them in place. Once you have the arms secured it's just plug and play to install the new motor.

We have the part # LC373566 for if the awning was made after 2015 or we have the part # LC266149 if it was made before 2015. Is your RV a 2023 Grand Design?
view full answer... - Do You Have a Replacement Motor for a Carefree Awning? Hey Rodney thanks for the information. I am sorry we do not have replacement parts, including motors for Carefree awnings. This is not going to be the cost-effective solution you're looking for. The only solution I have is the Solera 12V Electric RV Awning Conversion Kit item # LC434723. This will upgrade your Carefree awnings arms and motor and work with your roller tube. Let me know if you have any additional questions down the road.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Solera Awning That Opens Slow, Pops Fuse And Wire Gets HotHello Taylor, thanks for reaching out. This does sound like a bad motor but you will definitely want to test with a multimeter and make sure the motor is getting 12 volts. Also check the ground wire coming off the switch and make sure that is solid. Did the awning sustain any damage that you are aware of? I have heard of the pitch arms getting bent which can cause issues like you are describing. If all of that checks out that points to a bad motor. You can replace yours with the following: -...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting A Non-Working RV Awning On A 2018 Forest River Wildwood 28BHHLHi Sonny, There unfortunately isn't a guide to tell us where the power is coming from and if there's any hidden fuses so you're going to have to trace the wiring to the power source, which would either be running to your DC distribution panel or directly to the battery. I have seen a few trailers that also had a circuit breaker like part # PK54520 mounted to the trailer frame with it being used for the awning so while you're tracing the power wire you can check for a circuit breaker.
view full answer... - Looking For Replacement Awning Motor For Apex Nano 187RBHello Dennis, thanks for reaching out. We may have the motor you need. Can you tell me the model number on your motor? There is no way to look up your camper to know exactly what motor you have, but if you can take a look at your motor there should be a sticker with the brand, part number and stuff. Leave a reply below with that number and I am happy to look into it.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement Awning Motor for Lippert Solera AwningsYes we do, Steve. If your awning was made with the trailer in 2022 then you'd need the Replacement Motor for Solera Power RV Awnings Manufactured after 2015 # LC373566 otherwise you'd need the Replacement Motor for Solera Power RV Awnings Manufactured before 2015 # LC266149.
view full answer... - Replacement Motor for Solera AwningHey Hawk, so we have replacement Solera awning motors but it comes down to what year your awning was made. If it was made after 2015 you'd want the part # LC373566 or if it was made before you'd need part # LC266149. Just to the right of the serial number sticker you should see a manufacture date listed.
view full answer... - Looking For A Replacement Motor For A Venture Motor 8692851Hey Lyle, We do have a replacement motor for you. Lippert makes replacement motors that are compatible replacements for a Venture model motor. You are going to want to try and find a manufacturer date on the motor, or on the trailer because there are 2 options. One motor for awnings manufactured before 2015 and one for after 2015. Awnings Manufactured Before 2015: # LC266149 Awnings Manufactured After 2015: # LC373566 Do you know what year the awning or trailer was manufactured?
view full answer... - Troubleshooting a Solera Awning Needing to Be Pushed to RetractHey Bill. It sounds like either your motor is going out, you've got a bent arm, or there's a voltage drop and you don't have enough power to retract the awning. Ruling out a bent or damaged arm should be pretty easy. You can use a multi-meter like item # PT89ZR to test your power supply. You should be getting 12 volts. Have you contacted the dealership you purchased your trailer from or Lippert who manufacturer's your awning? This sounds like a warranty issue to me unless you've bent...
view full answer... - Solution for Broken Gear on the Solera Power Awning End CapI spoke with my contact at Lippert and she informed me that the part you are looking for is the part # LC353964. This is a replacement drive gear kit designed to fit the Solera power awning the # LC266149 you referenced fits. The gear by itself is not available but with this kit you will get the gear you need and then have some spare parts left over.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Solera Awning Motor Retracting Slowly or StoppingI checked with the manufacturer for you, and they say that the Solera Awnings are slower when they retract. If you are sure there are 12 volts by testing with a multimeter the next thing to do is ensure the pitch arms aren't bent at all, which can cause issues. After that, they said to take a look at the ground wire before the switch, and make sure that has a good connection. Also make sure the switch is not damaged in any way, and if it needs replacing you can do that with the Solera...
view full answer... - What is the Difference Between Lippert Motor for Solera Awnings 373566 and 266149The # LC266149 is designed to work with Solera awnings that were manufactured before 2014, where the # LC373566 is designed for awnings built after 2015. Yes, the main noticeable difference is going to be the plug, but that directly effects how it is wired internally and the internal components may be slightly different in how they operate; according to Lipperty they are not interchangeable.
view full answer... - Does Solera Awning Gear Pack LC78VR Work with Both 373566 and 266149 MotorsYes the gear pack part # LC78VR does work with both the motor kits you mentioned of # LC266149 and # LC373566.
view full answer... - Solution For Solera Manual Crank RV Head with Bad GearsThe best solution we have for your situation is a new manual crank drive head for your Solera manual awning since the gears aren't available. For that you'd want the black drive head part # LC300031.

- Troubleshooting Solera Power Awning That Stopped WorkingThere aren't any fuses in the motor or arm. It is possible that the motor burned out or the drive head gears # LC353964 have gone bad. If you need a replacement motor then you will use the Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor # LC266149. The best way to test is to remove the head housing and use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to check the wires going into the motor for power. If you have power going into the motor when you press the switch then you know that the motor is bad. If...
view full answer... - Solera Power Awning Extends Half Way But Does Not RetractIn regards to troubleshooting your Solera Power Awning, the first thing you'd want to do is check your battery voltage. It should be at least 12 volts. If the voltage is good, check for objections in the arms which could be anything from a bent pitch arm to a foreign obstruction. If this checks out good as well you'll turn your attention to the motor. If you have a multimeter you'll need to test the power wire on the motor, if you get at least 12 volts here then it's likely the motor that...
view full answer... - What is Difference Between Solera Awning Motors LC373566 and # LC266149 While the two motor kits you mentioned are very similar there is one key difference. The # LC266149 is for Solera awnings older than 2015 and the part # LC373566 is for Solera awnings made after 2015.
view full answer... - Lights Work but No Power to Motor on Lippert Solera Power AwningIf I had to take a guess, I would say the batteries are dead. This is rather common when someone goes to get in their camper after it sits in the offseason for a few months. I know you said you have power to the lights but the lights only consume a very small amount of power to function so it's likely there's enough power for the lights, but not the awning motor which draws much more. I recommend a full battery charge before proceeding with troubleshooting. If the awning still does not...
