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.

What kind of Solera awning is on your trailer? Feel free to reply below with any other questions.

Hey Brandon, did you find out which Solera awning is on your Grand Surveyor trailer? Once you confirmed that, were you able to see if the wind sensor or the Smart Arm conversion kit fit your setup? Your update could make it easier for others looking to add auto-retract features to their awnings.
