Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at this Lippert Replacement Head Pin. This is going to replace the head pin needed for your Solera Power Awning Gear Drive Head. This is an exact replacement from Lippert, which is the same company that produces the Solera awning, so you can trust it is gonna fit right in place of that original, you're not gonna have to worry about compatibility issues or anything like that. So if you are needing to replace that original head pin, this is gonna be exactly what you need. So that completes our look for today.
Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com, thanks for watching..
I spoke with William at etrailer as there were multiple items with just a slight variation. He guided me to the exact part needed for my awning. The part came and easy installation. It has been working perfectly for the last year.
GREAT PRODUCT HASN'T STOPED WORKING SINCE I GOT IT. AND GOOD REASONABLE PRICES. I RECOMMEND ETRAILER PRODUCTS FOR YOUR RV-TRAILER NEEDS.
Excellent customer service, fast delivery and Quality parts. Thanks
this was a perfect fit for our broken drive pin. for our application i should've ordered one of the E clips as well. the factory doesn't have one next to the gear drive. no problem ran to hardware store and on our way! easy installation. dont be afraid of replacing this part on your own.
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.
Great replacement part, fit perfectly. We were away camping when the pin snapped. Tried an RV dealer near the campground but they said I would have to buy the whole motor head assembly and it would take a week to 10 days to get it. I went online to your website ordered the pin and it was delivered to the campground the next day. I am a repeat customer and have always been very satisfied with the items that I have bought. Thanks, Scott.
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.
You were a life saver my awning was broke I received no support from my dealer or the manufacturer I called ETrailer and Tiffany was able to find the correct part and next day shipped to me to make the repairs.
This replacement pin along with the gear assembly fixed my awning issues. No problems with awning since whatsoever.
Excellent replacement for my Grand Design solara awning. After hitting a tree getting into a tight spot.etrailer had plenty of parts with videos to give me the confidence to take the drive head apart, saving me hundreds of dollars in the project. Attached is a picture of the drive head before replacement.
This was the key part for the awning repair, and they shipped quickly
Everything went well, and the pin was excellent for repairing my camper awning
My drive pin snapped in half, this replacement part worked perfect when i called where I bought my camper she told me I had to buy the whole motor so took chance on this and my awning is back to as good as new.
E Trailer is as advertised; the staff was very helpful making sure I got the part I needed to informing me on how to install it correctly. E Trailer is now my RV go to. Thank You
Left my awning out, in a bad wind storm and sheared this pin, took about an hour to repair and this part saved me hundreds of dollars. Super easy to install.
Pin was exactly as advertised, and the drive head reassembled easily.
Drive pin was exact to the original, installation was straight forward. Arrived in protective packaging and on time.
Awesome!! I was skeptical at first because of the price difference in my local rv parts retailer and this place, but I was blown away at how fast they shipped my order, I believe I even received it earlier than expected! Would recommend 1000%!
Worked perfectly! I tapped the hole to use a 8-32 machine screw instead of the self tapping that was used originally. I'm not crazy about the way the awning is designed but this was a direct replacement for the part and saved me from replacing the whole thing.
Right part and correct fit to fix my awning that was damaged in a wind gust.

Replacement pin has functioned properly and held up just fine. Very satisfied with the results.
Superb service,fast delivery, made the repair on time.
I originally ordered the wrong part. I called customer service and got instant help in ordering the correct part. Arrived on time in 2 days. I always enjoy doing business with etrailer
I made a bone head mistake and ran the awning into the gutter on the house. I zip tied the arms on both ends after taking it out a foot. Supported the awning and took out the screw through drive pin and then the bolt holding the motor to the awning arm. I could see the drive pin was bent. Replaced it and put it back together and all is good. I also replaced the front head cover as it broke off. Works good now
I have searched for the drive pin head at other places and couldn’t find anything. Went to etrailer and had it ordered in about 5 minutes. Thank you
You guys were the only one that had this part. It arrived fairly fast and was the exact replacement. Very pleased.
