Hello, how wide should the boards in the trailer wall be that are fastened into during arm install? Or what is the width between bolt holes in the arms?

I was able to talk to my tech contact over at Lippert about the installation of the Solera Smart Arm 12V Power RV Awning - 16' Wide - Programmable - Black Fade # LC517486 and you will need at minimum a 2-1/2" wide surface (stud under the outer shell) to safely mount this kit on your RV or Trailer; it is preferred that you have at least 3" to give yourself some space on each side but the 2-1/2" dimension will work when installed carefully.
