This Solera XL 12V Power RV Awning gives you serious coverage with its 21' width and 9'8" projection. The extra 1'8" of fabric adds about 20% more shade than standard 8' awnings, making it perfect when you want a big, shaded patio area. It’s a solid match for larger setups that need that extra stretch to stay comfortable during sunny days.
When rain hits, there’s no need to run outside and drop an arm manually. The built-in automatic rain dump system takes care of that for you by dropping one side of the awning as soon as water starts to pool. This helps the rain run off safely, preventing the fabric from stretching or tearing and keeping the arms from bending under the extra weight.
Getting the right angle for shade throughout the day is simple with the manual pitch adjustment. You can lower one corner at the friction joint to block the sun exactly where you need it, and you don’t have to reset anything before retracting—it automatically slides back in place.
The premium 13.5-oz vinyl fabric is built tough for long days in the elements. It’s cold-crack tested to -25°F, so it stays flexible even in freezing weather, and the heat-welded seams keep rain from leaking through. The built-in burgundy weatherguard shields the fabric when it’s rolled up, protecting it from sun and debris when not in use.
Extending and retracting the awning is effortless—just flip the switch. The 12-volt motor connects directly to your RV power, and a manual override lets you use a power drill if electricity isn’t available. The included switch kit can be mounted inside or outside, and all necessary hardware for installation comes with it.
Ratings & Reviews
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.
Easy to follow instructions, great product high quality materials. Freight shipping seemed damage product etrailer resolved problem very quickly.
The online application made it easy for me to find the right product. The ordering process was easy. The right product was sent. The only problem was that the 2 pieces were delivered on different days. However, I think this is the shipping company's fault and not etrailer.
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.
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.
All scratched up. Box s all tour up. I rejected the drop off. I talk to Sarah S And cancel my order. I waited way too long long for this order and it shows up a mess. I’m not waiting again.
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.
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.
Well had problems with the truck freight, arrived in two shipments. The first the end of awning roller tube was damaged,awning was not damaged so I accepted. The arm shipment box was damaged but arms looked fine, but afterwards I found no switch, mounting hardware, or instructions. Etrailer got all I needed for the installation but it took a while to get the missing parts. My advice on accepting delivery is if the box is damaged don’t accept it!! Install went well, my son, grandson, and installed in a couple of hours. I really like it. Will get so pictures and post later
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
Never been happier with a product, was an easy install with a second person helping. The extra 20 inches of shade is really nice here in the Sonoran Desert.
Awning coverage is amazing produces a lot of shade awning is very adjustable and the motor only draws minimal amperage so it’s very easy to wire. Only downside is the motor turns very slow so it takes a little bit of time to go in and out. Overall, though very happy very satisfied, good product, and easy straightforward installation.
Went on perfect, wired and installed in 3hrs.
Excellent service and delivery- Solera is the best.
It was a great addition to my trailer. It was easy to install and it works great.
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.
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.
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!
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.
I didn’t get the support arms for my awning.was it shipped in two separate boxes?
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!
Fabric failure at 1 year, Lippert warranty and nightmare to deal with. Will at etrailer helped and did a great job getting warranty covered, etrailer always good customer service. Always have had good luck with Lippert products but their warranty department terribl when I had an issue
This was a most difficult order we have experienced. We ordered this awning on May 14, they charged my credit card on May 22. When the order was placed it said we would received it within 5-7 business days? Wellafter 5 phone calls Karen, Rachel, Matt,Taylor, taylor again, Austin & Kyle! Emailed Brandon 3 times NO REPLY. We finally received half our order June 10, 2026! But we did it our awning insulted because my went & purchased the parts we needed to complete this project! This was very frustrating to us.
Our item was on back order from the manufacturer, but etrailer keep us informed as updates were given. The item was extremely what order, and works great.
