Ellen: Hey, everybody. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com. We're taking a quick look at the Replacement Gear Pack for your Solera Awning. If you've had any issues with your Solera awning and you're replacing those parts, this is going to be a piece that you're going to need. This goes into the motor for that awning arm. The gear of that comes in here and sits in there and turns your awning.
SO, if you want to get a closer look to make sure that this works with yours, you can see that here. It's going to have our four small gears inside a larger gear wheel. So as that motor is turning, I'll just use my finger here to demonstrate, it's going to, oops, turn the whole thing, which is kind of hard to do without actually having a tool to do that. But all those little guys move inside, and as you can see, they are just resting inside here. So you want to be careful not to flip it over or else it will all pop out.It has a new rubber O-ring to keep that sealed up.
It's probably not a bad idea to put a little bit of grease in here just to make sure that things are going to move really nice and evenly. And then it does also have a trim ring to go with this. The part number that this works with is listed on the product page here at etrailer.com. That is LC266149. That's the part number for your awning motor.
This is going to be compatible with that motor. The other side, holding it all together, looks like that. That's pretty much all there is to it for our look at the Replacement Gear Pack for your Solera Awning Motor. I hope this has helped in deciding if this is the right replacement part for you. We do have a lot of options here at etrailer.com for all kinds of replacement parts for your Lippert components, including the Solera awnings and also complete kits as well.
So, check those out if you're interested. Thanks for watching.
the gear pack fit the drive motor for a Solera RV Power Motor well (the Aaiov PN373566 12VDC 75RPM)
This is the 2nd Replacement gear drive. The part comes complete, but for some reason it breaks where it meets the shaft. Have not resolved that problem yet. Hopefully warranty work will fix it.
Absolute pile of junk. 3rd time replacing this piece. Last time, stripped out on first awning cycle. Do not purchase. Buy the complete awning head unit with metal chassis and gears from Lippert. Expensive but fixed properly rather than this useless gear pack.
No photo because I threw it all in the garbage.
It's the needed part that drives the Lippert Solera awning. I could actually find the needed part on the etrailer web site while the Lippert web site was impossible to navigate. I have no idea what Lippert would have charged for the part.
I replaced the part a few weeks ago, and so far everything is perfect. . Installation took under 15 minutes, and the awning now operates smoothly — exactly what I was hoping for. etrailer’s fast shipping and responsive customer support made the whole process hassle-free. Highly recommend this for anyone needing a reliable awning motor gear replacement!
This replacement gear pack worked just like expected. Replaced the drive pin at the same time and have had no problems with my awning since.
parts delivered quickly, perfect replacement of worn out part, awning back in working order without having to call expensive mobile repair service, thank you e-trailer.
Replacement drive head fit perfectly. Sorry but did not think to take a pic. Very happy with the purchase and the drive pin too. Installation went smoothly. Tip: Remember to zip tie both ends before you start the process.
"Old" awning gear drive broke while camping a few days ago in my 2020 Cougar RESWE trailer, which seemed weird because I only camp maybe 2-3 times a year. Managed to roll up the awning and strap it down to get home, and received the replacement gear drive three days later. Took 15 minutes to replace it and it works as advertised. Pictures are the old assembly.
Direct replacement and worked perfectly for my application. etrailer is the best to work with my original order broke upon installation and they replaced it without any hassle. The awning on my RV has been working perfectly ever since. Thanks
Planetary gear pack was perfect replacement. Order was easy and arrived perfectly packed and on time.
Best customer service ever and rocket fast delivery.
Work well, BUT, when installing be careful not to dislodge the plastic gear cover and O-ring, it is extremely difficult to reassemble
Lost small parts when replacing the motor. This part fit perfectly and was delivered quiclky.
Rocket fast shipping!
This was a perfect fit and a drop-in replacement for the damaged unit I removed
It work perfectly. Install was simple. Video helped me to know what to expect when installing.
My first time out on my new 5 th wheel and the awning broke. I ordered this replacement after reading other positive reviews and it fit perfectly and have not had an issue with the awning since.
Thanks for a great replacement part.
This did what it needed to do. My RV repair people pulled a number on me and left me hanging, but with the information available on etrailer I was able to identify which parts I needed. Once I had them it was an easy enough installation. etrailer is now my first stop for all my RV accessory parts.
Part arrived quickly and was easy to install. Our awning works again!
The part was a perfect fit. Shipping was quick. I'm happy with my purchase.
So far has not been used, I am sure it will function well, thank you.
Repaired a stripped assembly. Worked as designed afterwards
Parts are all correct, great delivery time and even better communication letting me know the status. Thanks!
It is exactly what I ordered and receiv ed.
