How to Find Correct Size Powered Awning For Motorhome
Question:
I have a 2009 Gulfstream BT Cruiser. I would like to replace the entire awning with a motorized one. Can you advise where I can find this product along with the proper wiring, etc.?

You can get a 12 volt awning here but there are measurements you have to know in order to choose the right one. The first is the amount of wall space you have on the outside of your RV; you want to check to ensure you have at least 69" from the awning rail straight down.
Next is the width, and what you'll need to do is measure your current awning from center to center of its arms to find the appropriate width. For example, if you measured 18 feet you'd need the Solera Smart Arm 12V Power RV Awning # LC517505, or if you measured 16 feet you'd use the Solera Smart Arm 12V Power RV Awning # LC517486.
I have added a link below to our entire selection of powered awnings which you can filter through by width.
