Question:
I have a 69inch arm awning and soon it will need a new fabric, question is can I replace the arms with 80inch arms and the extended awning?

Expert Reply:
When deciding if it's best to go with a larger arm for your awning, you'll need to go by the actual awning/fabric extension instead of arm length.
As long as that's good, you can use larger awning arm kits like the:
-Solera Classic Universal Awning Support Arms for RVs # LC434718 for white,
Or,
-The Solera Classic Universal Awning Support Arms for RVs # LC434717 for black.
However, if your awning when extended out measures less than 116", then the Solera 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit # LC434724 is the best option.
