Perfect fit, arrived ahead of schedule. Couldn’t be happier and will definitely do business here again!



by:

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.



by:

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!

Our awning motor is still working great! It was easy to install and we were excited about getting the awning fixed. Like new again.



by:

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

Actually about two years now and awning still working like new.



by:

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.



by:

I was so happy when I found the etrailer web site ! I had been trying to find the awning motor we needed for over a week, luckily I found etrailer.com. The ease of finding the part we needed was excellent and the awning motor was an exact fit. My husband put the motor on and now the awning works great. Thank you etrailer



by:

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



by:

Quickly delivered, product exactly matched the existing, (brand, model, type, fit and function) low pricing, free delivery, courteous representatives, package tracking, followup after the sale, no issues, well pleased, would recommend

Install of motor and tools used.



by:

Replacement awning motor Installation was straightforward. It works but the awning retract is very slow. Seems like the motor should have a little more power.



by:

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.

Parts work well. Fifth wheel is easy to remove & replace as needed. It did take some work to install but overall I'm happy with the kit.



by:

Oh my goodness!! Very impressed with this company! FAST FAST shipping and it was free! Our awning motor went out so we researched and found this company. So glad we did! If we need any other products we will without hesitation order again from e-trailer. Thanks so much~ Highly recommend!!!



by:

I ordered a replacement motor for the awning on my travel trailer. Exactly what I ordered and very quick delivery. Works perfectly. Took 30 minutes to install. Couldn’t have asked for anything more.



by:

This motor worked great. It fit just like the original part. Etrailer is the best and they ship fast. They also have great technical support.



by:

I ordered electric awning motor for my motor home, it was easy to install and works fine. I was very pleased with the product and will use this company for future needs.



by:

Exact fit. It took longer to take the covers off then to install the motor. Hopefully the motor will last the life of the rv.



by:

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!

The replacement awning motor fit perfectly. Easy to install. The awning works just like new.



by:

This awning motor was very easy to install, and is the exact replacement. I hope it will last longer than the original.

Easy replacement, thank you for your help since the place I purchased the camper wouldn't return my call for part assistance. I needed the motor for my awning. Their loss ! Thank you again Ashley.

This is one of the best sites for trailer parts that I have ever used it is easy and they seem to have everything at a good price



by:

Product is garbage. Motor is already bad, it will work on extension but will not retract

  • 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.

  • Installing The Replacement Motor On The Solera Power Awning
    The 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...

  • Lights Work but No Power to Motor on Lippert Solera Power Awning
    If 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...

  • Solution For Solera Manual Crank RV Head with Bad Gears
    The 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.

  • Are Solera Awning Motors Interchangeable
    The appropriate Solera Awning motor is based on when your awning was manufactured. For Solera awnings manufactured through 2015 you need the Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor # LC266149. For Solera awnings manufactured after 2015 you need the aptly named Replacement Motor for Lippert Solera Power Awnings Manufactured after 2015 # LC373566.

  • Solera Awning Will Not Retract Without Helping It
    It sounds like your Solera awning may have bent arms or a faulty motor. Check to see if anything looks bent; if the arms seem to be bent then you can match up the replacement arms on the attached link. If the arms seems to be in good working order then your motor may be slowly going out in which case you can replace it with Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor # LC266149. There is also the possibility that the motor is not receiving the correct voltage. Use a tester such as LCD Digital...

  • What is the Difference Between Lippert Motor for Solera Awnings 373566 and 266149
    The # 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.

  • Solution for Broken Gear on the Solera Power Awning End Cap
    I 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.

  • Solera Power Awning Extends Half Way But Does Not Retract
    In 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...

  • What Is The Difference Between LC266149 And LC373566 Replacement Motors
    The Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor # LC266149 will work if your Solera awning was manufactured through 2015. If your awning was manufactured after 2015, you'll want to use the Replacement Motor for Lippert Solera Power Awnings Manufactured after 2015 # LC373566.

  • Troubleshooting A Non-Working RV Awning On A 2018 Forest River Wildwood 28BHHL
    Hi 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.

  • Is There a Replacement Motor That Allows the Solera Awnings to Retract Faster
    The Solera awnings are a slower retracting awning. They will only go as fast as the correct motor will allow. The # LC266149 is for Solera awnings older than 2015 and the # LC373566 is for Solera awnings made after 2015. Unfortunately there is not a motor that is recommended for the awnings that will retract them faster.

  • Will Replacement Motor for Solera Awning with 75 RPM Work to Replace 100 RPM Motor
    Yes, the Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor # LC266149 will still work, it will just operate at a slower pace than your 100 RPM motor.

  • Troubleshooting an RV Awning That Blows a Fuse and Will Not Retract
    I am not sure what awning you have, but there are a couple things you can check out depending on when the fuse is blowing. If it is blowing almost immediately upon putting a new fuse in, there is likely a short in the wiring and you would want to inspect your wiring to try and find the short. If the fuse is blowing while in the process of retracting your awning, then it is likely a mechanical error. The motors in awnings will over compensate if they run into an obstruction, causing the...

  • Replacement Power Awning Drive Head for Dometic Component Awning with Bad Motor
    I reached out to my contact at Lippert and the Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor # LC266149 has not been tested with Dometic awnings for gearing compatibility, so they cannot confirm a fit. What you can do is replace the power drive head assembly with the Solera Power Awning Plain Drive Head, White # LC266146. If you want the matching idler head you can use # LC266147.

  • Lippert Solera Awning Blows Fuse When Trying To Extend Arms
    There 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...

  • Recommended Replacement Arm For Solera RV Awning
    The replacement arms we offer for RV Awnings are designed to fit the Solera awnings. Finding the correct arm depends on the measurement of the wall-mount extrusion from top to bottom. I have attached a link to the product page on our website you can check out. We offer three different Black awning arms replacements. If you have the Solera Awning and need the shorter 61-inch arm you can order part # LC295743. If you have the standard flat awning you can order the 69-inch arm, part # LC281154....

  • Looking For Replacement Awning Motor For Apex Nano 187RB
    Hello 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.

  • Solution for Needing Replacement Slide Out Arm Bracket
    The bracket you have broken is part of the slide out awning roller and could only be replaced by going with an all new assembly like with the part # LCV000165062 which would be correct if you needed a roller that measures 7 foot 1 inch. There's a good chance you'd need a different size though so if you could measure the width of your slide out from flange to flange I can recommend the correct part.
