Question:
I need to replace my manual drive head on a 2008 Forest River 5th wheel. Dometic 8500 awning. I would like to use a hybrid / crank head. Will the LC300029 work? FWIW the 2 mounting brackets are different lengths

Helpful Expert Reply:
In order to use the Hybrid Lippert Drive Head # LC300029 you'll need to get the whole arm kit assembly as part # LC434728 - this includes both the drive and idler heads, matching arms, hardware, and hand crank.
This kit is designed to work with a Dometic awning fabric like what you have, but the head needs to be used with Solera arms.
