Longest Power Awning Arms to Replace 18' Carefree Awning Arms & Replacement Fabric  

Updated 10/14/2024 | Published 09/02/2024



Question:

I want to convert an 18’ Carefree manual awning on a 2008 Monaco Monarch class A motorhome to automatic awning. I’m looking at the Lippert arm kit. I would like to replace the fabric as well. What arm kit would give the longest extension? I can get power to the awning arms.

Hi Everett,

The replacement we can offer with the longest arms are the Solera Smart Arm, which can replace Carefree Spirit, Fiesta, Simplicity Traveler, and Eclipse models. These have 63-1/2" long outer arms, and require 69" of wall space to mount; you can choose from either White or Black:

- White: Solera Smart Arm Electric RV Awning Conversion Kit # LC759405

- Black: Solera Smart Arm Electric RV Awning Conversion Kit # LC759517

Then for fabric we have a multitude of different colors for the Replacement 17'1" Fabric for 18' RV Awnings:

- Solid Black # LCV000334419
- Black Fade # LCV000334415
- Blue Fade # LCV000334421
- White Fade # LCV000334416
- Burgundy Fade # LCV000334420
- Silver Fade # LCV000334423
- Green Fade # LCV000345102
- Sand Fade to Black # LCV000334417
- Sand Fade to White # LCV000334418

Do you know how far the canopy will extend out from the motorhome when it’s fully extended? It should be around 8’. It will be further than the outer arm. Thank you

@Everett Yep, 8 feet is correct; that's how long the fabric will extend out.

@KyleS Is there a way to add LED lights to an older awning rail that does not have the track or slot for LEDs?

@Everett There isn't, but the replacement fabric does have an LED light strip available if you'd like, the LED Light Kit w/ Switch for Solera RV Awnings # LC674283.
