Great question.

The Solera Smart Arm 12V Power RV Awning - 18' Wide - Programmable - Black Fade # LC517505 comes with all the hardware needed to install it, however you will need one more item.

You will need the Solera Awning Rail Extrusion - Black - 8' Long # LC715217. This connects the fabric to the RV.

I do, HIGHLY, recommend the Solera Smart Arm Wind Sensor Kit # LC715123. This will give you some security for when you leave the awning down and those random gusts of wind or sudden storms roll through and try to rip your awning off. It will retract the awning if it detects strong enough winds that can damage the unit.

It is worth it not having to replace awning arms or cut your trip short because your awning gets destroyed.

Lastly you will need some Alpha Systems Butyl Tape for RV Weatherproofing - 20' x 3/4" x 3/16" - White # AL33FJ. This will help seal up and waterproof key areas during installation.
