Ellen: Hey, everyone. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com. Today, we're taking a quick look at the replacement pitch arm assembly for Solera standard flat awning support arm. Now, this is going to be the portion of your support arm for your awning that actually lets you make an adjustment so that you can pitch one side down to let any rain drip off of the one side. So if you leave your awning level, it can actually collect condensation and then cause issues with being a big puddle in the middle of your awning. So this allows us to just adjust one side down so that it can all drain off to one side.
Now the retaining washers that are needed for your installation are going to be sold separately. You can pick those up here at eachtrailer.com using part number LC282484. Those are sold separately.And basically this is just an articulating arm here, so we'll have our friction pivot point that you can just move that angle out to get your awning where it needs to be. And then it doesn't affect the awning retracting at all whenever you're ready to load up and move out for the day, and hit the road again. So this is going to work for your 69 inch standard flat awning support arm.
That part number is sold separately for the complete kit and that is LC281154. As far as the length of this portion here, just for reference, it is 31.5 inches long from end to end. The distance between the mounting holes, the very end here to the furthest one, is about just about 30 and five eighths inches center to center. And then about 29.5 inches to the secondary hole in the back here.So it will have two holes for mounting there. I just wanting to give you those for reference.
This larger, outer tube is about an inch wide. The smaller inner tube is about three quarters of an inch wide. The length between those articulating parts is about 17 and seven eighths inches for this larger portion and about 13 and three quarters roughly from the end to this inner portion here where it meets up with our larger guy. It does have a black powder coat finish, so you shouldn't have to worry about this rusting or corroding anytime soon. And it does already come assembled with that friction fitting in the middle there.
It is made in USA and that's going to do it for our look at the replacement pitch arm assembly for the Solera 69 inch standard flat awning support arm.

Replaces 1 pitch arm assembly used to support your standard Solera flat RV awning with 69" long support arms.Quality is so abysmal they will not stand behind this product for more than 30 days. All in shipped for ${XX] for a thin "steel" bar that hinges in the middle. See photos of break location for future reference.
Don't forget to buy $[XX] (each) M8x18mm lock washers to install the arm.
Note: it did fit, just didn't last more than 30 days.
The pitch arm itself is fine, perfect replacement. However be aware that the push nuts that hold the pins in place when you reinstall, will be destroyed when you remove them, and replacement push nuts for this product are 15$ EACH, so a total of XX$ MORE for the hardware to put this part on with. That is JUST the push nuts, not new pins or anything.
I am super unhappy about that. It is bad enough to have to pay XXX$ for 2 pieces of metal that have a bolt for a hinge, and 3 holes drilled in the ends, but then to pay another XX$ just for the stuff you need to put the new one on, and not even a full kit at that is horrible. I think we will attempt to find actual pins that use locking clips or cotter pins as the retaining medium, since those are common and only a few pennies each. [online] also sells something that looks like it will work for 25 cents each. attached is a pic of the hardware I am speaking of.
Perfect replacement part. I installed it in about 15 minutes!!! Shipping was same day I ordered it which was a Sunday and it was delivered within a couple of days. Thank you!!!
The pitch arms that were ordered seem to be of better quality and the thickness of the metal appears to be thicker. I had to replace the idler side of the awning because the original piece broke and causing the awning not to retract as it should’ve. The staff at E-Trailer were very helpful and polite. They were also understanding and knowledgeable of RV parts.

It is still working fine.
It was a tricky install , but I was able to reuse the pins and locks from original bracket. There can be some fast moving parts when it’s being installed. Take your time and give it respect
Just what I needed to fix my awning arm. Perfect fit. Easy to install. Arrived quickly.
You ship this without the required lock nuts? Why?
Excellent item to replace my awning pitch adjustment arm.
Everything fit perfectly.

My only concern is the price of the retaining washer which make no sens $24 each washer when you need 10 ….
This would’ve been 5 stars if it would’ve came with the retainer clips that have to be removed to replace the arm. Other than that it’s an exact replacement part for what broke.
Excellent replacement part. Fit perfect ly

The part itself has been flawless, we also bought another one since the originals were damaged when we had a sudden snow that we were unprepared for. As for the pushnuts, I was able to find entire replacement kits on ebay for all of the retaining pins and pushnuts as a kit. They were inexpensive considering it is an entire hardware replacement kit for one side of the entire awning system. I also discovered that if you are handy enough, which my husband is, you can carefully use a punch or other metal rod that is the same size as the pin, to gently push it out of the holes, including the push nut, so we were able to replace the pitch arm and we only had to use a couple of the push nuts from the kit. Hope this helps.
