Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com and today we're gonna take a look at this replacement drive head and roll bar for the Solera RV slide-out awning. This is going to replace the drive head and roll bar for your Solera RV slide-out awning. If you are facing your awning, the drive head is on the right side. And if you need the idler head I am including our item number on your screen for the replacement left side or idler head and roll bar for Solera RV slide-out awnings. Just take that item number that you see there on your screen, put it in the search field of our website, and it will take you to that. Now, since this is a Lippert components product, it's going to be the exact same as your original.
So what's nice is you're not gonna have to worry about fit issues. It's going to be the same quality, the same fit, as the original and this is going to fit all Solera RV slide-out awnings. This is made here in the USA and as you can see it as a black color so it's going to blend in well with the slide-out awning that you currently have. Now, keep in mind, this is spring-loaded, obviously, so you wanna be careful when you are removing your old one and installing this new one. It is possible that it could be under some pressure so you wanna make sure that you are supporting it so that you don't potentially get injured while you are installing this.
Well, that's gonna conclude our brief look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..
Exact replacement.
The posted link to the installation directions didn't go anywhere for me.
I pulled slide out about 6" and pre loaded the spring about 5 turns.
Works great!!
I got my shipment very quickly which was great for our 1st of the year camping trip coming soon. Install was pretty straight forward. Instead of having the awning out at 5 to 6 inches for the install and turning clockwise 14 turns, I put it all the way out and did 14 turns counterclockwise. Install took me about an hour.

So far so good. No issues to report. Love that E-trailer does follow ups.
Part fit perfectly. Removal of the old and installation of the new part was straight forward. Would have be nice to have some instructions. Had to figure out if the torsion spring would be under tension or not. If the slide is in there is no tension on the spring. That's how I made the change. It took about 30 to 45 minutes.
Lauren was awesome she is very knowledgeable and helpful. The parts were perfect because of Lauren's help. etrailer.com is now my place to go for parts. I will tell everyone I can how fantastic you folks are. Thank you so much. You have one very happy customer. Don't loose Lauren.

Works very well actually, nice and smooth and quiet operation when moving slides in and out. Should have replaced them a lot sooner than I did.
Very easy replacement.
The part showed up on time and well package. No instructions (as expected) and Lippert Cmpts manuals don't cover a drive or idler bar. The original part was only 6 yrs old and the shaft sheared in right hand bracket/holder. Replacement was straightforward - with the slideout fully pulled in, it was just a matter of removing the bracket bar and end piece (as the shaft broke there are no concerns with spring tension) and then removing the end cap (3 screws), pulling it off and exposing the hollow roll tube. The broken bar and spring had slide forward in the tube so it had to be fished out. Installing the new drive bar/spring is basically the reverse procedure. Make sure you align one of the spiders on the far end of the shaft/bar with the round channel inside the tube. If you are any bit at all mechanically inclined, it is easy to figure out.
Perfect replacement fit. A bit louder than the original but not much
Perfect fit as it replaces the one I broke while passing a tree. Oops!
Had it for a year still working ! Easy repair to slide out cove, after the spring broke.
Easy diy job and great service from etrailer. I only needed the bracket. Please sell the brackets individually. Thx
Quick delivery
Product ship quickly and was packaged safely in a durable box. Very pleased with the transaction.
Good quality
I just needed the "S" bracket as I broke one. Would be nice to be able to buy just the bracket.
Great products, excellent customer service!!!
Fast shipping!!!
sent wrong item
Came quickly, fit perfectly
Arrived good
Perfect replacement for my motorhome slide out topper spring assembly. My A&E right topper spring broke, 3108706.171b, and is no longer available. However I took a chance and ordered this Solera spring assembly. Other than being black, it's a perfect replacement for my A&E.
I finally found exactly the spring set thank to you at etrailer.com. you have made this so easy to get parts. From the bottom of my heart thank you.
Super fast shipping and exactly the part I needed. I will definitely shop here first for my camper parts. Highly recommend!
Part was a direct replacement for perfect! Shipping was fast.
This is my second time ordering these parts (these are for a different set of slide toppers). They work great. They are easy to swap out for the old ones.
The product I received was excellent and timely. It even came early
