Can Wind Sensor Be Added To Solera Awning On 2024 Forest River Grand Surveyor?
Updated 10/30/2025 | Published 02/24/2025
Question:
I am curious if there is a wind sensor that can be added to Solera power awnings? My trailer is a 24 grand surveyor forest river and I am hoping there is an add on piece to auto retract the awning if the winds pickup. Thanks

Hello Brandon, thanks for reaching out. Solera does make a wind sensor for their smart arm series of awnings, part # LC715123. I am not sure what kind of solera awning is on your trailer, but it must be one of the solera smart arm awnings. The smart arm awnings have a touch pad like in the picture below.
If your awning is not a smart awning, it can be converted using the Solera Smart Arm Electric RV Awning Conversion Kit # LC759517. This comes with 69" arms, so please confirm your current awning also uses the 69" arms.
