Hey Chris, welcome back! So the awning doesn't have a stop arm built into it but the Solera 18V Electric Awning Conversion Kit # LC434729 does not use a separate mechanical travel-lock arm like traditional manual awnings.
Instead, the electric motor and internal drive gearing hold the roller tube in its retracted position. When you release the extend/retract button, the motor stops, and the drive mechanism prevents the awning from freely unrolling. What awning do you have right now?
