I am looking to change a Dometic power awning Mfd #916ft13.501U to a manual operation. Is there a kit or can you suggest parts I would need? Would like the support arms to be black if possible. Thank you

Expert Reply:
To change over the Dometic power awning Mfd #916ft13.501U to a manual operation and keep the arms black you will want to use the Solera Classic Universal Awning Support Arms for RVs item # LC434717. This kit is designed to replace the existing support arms on your Dometic manual awning. You will need to remove the motor from the tube in your Dometic awning to attach the torsion springs.
