Review from a similar Solera XL Power in RV Awnings
I like the awning because it was very easy to install and easy to operate. I installed in an hour using several neighbors to help lift it into place. The wiring was straightforward. I did have an issue because I had to mount it next to a window frame but by making a few shims out of aluminum stock at the fastening points everything looks and works great. After several days at the beach it was never adversely affected by the wind, and I could easily move it as the sun moved and it kept me in the shade.

I just finished installing the Solera Power Awning. I was impressed with the durability and engineering of this awning. I did have to make some modifications (shims added to the vertical supports), but that was due to the critical length of the awning, and where it was placed on the motorhome. I also custom painted the vertical supports to match the motorhome.
I did deviate from the suggested installation. After installing the top rails, I mounted the right vertical support first, then slid in the awning roller. I then held up the left side of the roller with a ladder, and installed the left support. As a result, we only needed two people instead of three. I think it would have been more difficult to try to slide the whole unit (left/right supports and roller) into the rails as one unit. The reason being is that this unit (as a whole) has some weight, and would be a bit unwieldy!
I am very satisfied with the final product and how it operates, and we are very much looking forward to hitting the road and trying it out!

So far so good! The awning was slightly damaged in shipping. They offered to pick it up and send another. Angela B. was helpful in sending me replacement parts instead. while I haven't used it yet except while installing, it seems to work well.

Love the awning but if you roll it completely out it buckles the arm you have to give it a push to start up. If you stop 1/2 round still on roller it works perfect.

This awning arrived exactly as promised and performs exactly as expected. We purchased this last year as a replacement to one damaged on our travel trailer by 60+ mph winds. The install directions were well-written and easy to follow. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this product.

Great awning, excellent transition between colors. A bit long for shipping, recommend picking up direct if possible. Overall nice awnings and beautiful once installed. Oversize awnings don’t like wind, be careful using if any wind, can be difficult to wind up if windy, motor is slightly undersized. Overall very happy, beautiful awning and hardware.

The project is a 1988 Holiday Rambler Aluma Lite XL. The original 21 foot manual awning needed a lot of work so I decided to go power. The 13 foot extra long awning is just super. Lots of good shade. Needed a little special attention to the installation because of the structure attachment points. Turned out great, does a super job!

Very nice awning. Definitely takes two people put it up, ours went on a horse trailer.
Review from a similar Solera XL Power in RV Awnings
This awning has been wonderful. We love the automatic feature. We added it to our 2008 Rockwood Roo hybrid trailer. The ease of use and various positions make our trips so comfortable. We would recommend this awning to anyone.

Arrived damaged. Roll had been ran over by a forklift causing tears in the vinyl. Rest was good.
Review from a similar Solera XL Power in RV Awnings
Awesome! Just unbelievable communication to begin with which made everything easier! Also the information available through details and videos also made the choice clear and simple. My arms on awning bent and the awning was old faded so it made the decision for me..time for new. Installation was super simple and easy. All of 30 minutes took longer for my friends to come and put hands on it than it did to install. Once on just incredible the more coverage!!! The pitch adjustment is just a pull so simple and this units arms are much taller to the point I can walk under them (6’4”) which I could never do before. Really happy and etrailer shipped way faster than expected.

Unbelievably great product. We are now the talk of the campground. Neighbors helped us install our new electric awning the foot and a half more for no drip on our concrete pad. We are so pleased. What a great product. Installation took two hours.

Could not figure out why an 11 foot awning was sent in a 16 foot box?
Review from a similar Solera XL Power in RV Awnings
Products not a problem. Delivery was several months, due to lost shipment.
Review from a similar Solera XL Power in RV Awnings
Had a hard time having this item delivered via UPS with damaged item received. etrailer was great and helped by sending a new item. Again had a hard time getting any local RV shop to schedule an installation time so I finally did it myself with the help of my wive and neighbor. If I read the instructions correctly they read to line the vertical arms with the awning rail. I wish I mounted it at least 2" lower as now the roll is above the awning rail so when fully retracting the awning it pulls downward and not horizontally inward.
To date I have camped with it about eight times and I have noticed a small tear in the awning fabric near the awning rail. Just hope it does not begin tearing. Again, being mounted too high seems to put undue stress on the awning fabric when fully retracted. Also, it does not do well with any wind, but is fine when I stake it down.
On the good side, it is so nice to have an electric retractable awning which makes set up and tear down that much easier with camping. The extra length adds to shade and the adjustable pitch is a snap.
Overall I am very happy with the product now that I finally received it and got it installed. I just hope the awning material does not tear or the motor give out

This awning is just the cats meow! Was easy enough to install, this replaced a manual awning which I was to short to roll it out. I also put a wind sensor on my new awning I would also highly recommend putting one on.
Review from a similar Solera XL Power in RV Awnings
It’s the perfect replacement for our rig. If you have a side out on the door side, this gives you a little extra room under the awning. The brackets that attach to the camper are longer than the old awning’s but that’s no problem. The only thing I have noticed that’s a downside is it is a bit slow going in.
