Ellen: Hey, everybody. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com. We're taking a quick look at the Replacement Gear Pack for your Solera Awning. If you've had any issues with your Solera awning and you're replacing those parts, this is going to be a piece that you're going to need. This goes into the motor for that awning arm. The gear of that comes in here and sits in there and turns your awning.
SO, if you want to get a closer look to make sure that this works with yours, you can see that here. It's going to have our four small gears inside a larger gear wheel. So as that motor is turning, I'll just use my finger here to demonstrate, it's going to, oops, turn the whole thing, which is kind of hard to do without actually having a tool to do that. But all those little guys move inside, and as you can see, they are just resting inside here. So you want to be careful not to flip it over or else it will all pop out.It has a new rubber O-ring to keep that sealed up.
It's probably not a bad idea to put a little bit of grease in here just to make sure that things are going to move really nice and evenly. And then it does also have a trim ring to go with this. The part number that this works with is listed on the product page here at etrailer.com. That is LC266149. That's the part number for your awning motor.
This is going to be compatible with that motor. The other side, holding it all together, looks like that. That's pretty much all there is to it for our look at the Replacement Gear Pack for your Solera Awning Motor. I hope this has helped in deciding if this is the right replacement part for you. We do have a lot of options here at etrailer.com for all kinds of replacement parts for your Lippert components, including the Solera awnings and also complete kits as well.
So, check those out if you're interested. Thanks for watching.

Replaces the gear pack in the drive head motor of your Solera 12V, 18V, or Smart Arm electric RV awning."Old" awning gear drive broke while camping a few days ago in my 2020 Cougar RESWE trailer, which seemed weird because I only camp maybe 2-3 times a year. Managed to roll up the awning and strap it down to get home, and received the replacement gear drive three days later. Took 15 minutes to replace it and it works as advertised. Pictures are the old assembly.
Bought 3 in the last year, on the last one. They break instantly, extremely soft metal. Glad we are living in our RV and can leave the awning out, because the gear pack breaks on the 1st or 2nd use. I've owned my RV going on 3 years and have ordered 5 of these in that time.
Quick replacement and is holding up to use.
etrailer was excellent in getting parts out and fast. The parts I received are Solera parts but are a cheap design. The shaft I had to order that was bad, only goes into flats on gear pack part ways and strips out on the end, and also cracks gear housing. The shaft seems to be made about 3/16" too short and is only driving the gear pack with just the tip of the shaft, instead of the whole flat section. Again etrailer was great in getting me the parts although this is doomed to fail again, and cost me again.
Broke immediately upon replacement metal shattered just like the factory original. Thankfully this time it happened at home vs camping

I am glad that you were at home, so you didn't get stranded. But I'm sorry to hear this replacement didn't work for you. It seems that this is pretty common for this product, and that other neighbors have had this same issue. Bear with me on this, I am working with the manufacturer to get to the bottom of why this keeps happening.
I was so pleased with this purchase. etrailer was the only place I could find this part. It arrived before the estimated delivery and I installed it without an issue. My awning is now working as it should.
Perfect fit. Shipping was off by 2 days but that was USPS problem not etrailer
DOES NOT FIT. IT IS TOO LOOSE. I NEED TO RETURN. MY MOTOR SHOWS AGCOSON 12VDCL 30W. THE SPINDLES DO NOT EVEN TOUCH THE GEARS.
The repair shops all quoted $600 (parts) to $2500 (new awning).
They gave me no hope for a sensible repair. This part was easy to find on the website. I could match the parts because of good images. I was 90% certain we had the right part before it shipped.
This is the best-when the part arrived it was a perfect fit and I was done with the project in 30 minutes.
All for less than $100. I will always shop here. I know parts will wear out and break. Knowing E Trailer has the support I need means my weekend will not be ruined by a problem or breakage.
Hello, I’m on vacation right now I. As soon I get home I will let you know about the parts. For now I’ll give one star since I haven’t seen the parts yet. Thank you
Found the parts I needed here.....ordered by phone. Customer service lady was super nice and very helpful. Got my parts a day early. Great experience!!!!
The part I need and quick delivery
Exact match! But not broken.
Doesn’t seem to be any better than the factory one. Installed it, worked great for about a week. Only pulled in the awning 2 times during that time and the third time it flew back out to discover it did the same thing as the factory one did!

I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.
F’g junk! I spent several hundreds having a welder repair ir twice. Replaced it once from you, left NC 1 yr ago
o & am ready to move again. But the damn thing won’t work- feel like cutting it off to replace with manual. Yours has never worked but one time a year ago. I even Gorrila taped it up for transport. Never again!! Also as a 83 yr old widow I have each time had to hire a repair man to do the work.
The product was just what I needed .Delivery was just what I was told that it would arrive. Very satisfied with product and serice
Same as original. Used bolts,washers, and locking nuts to make more of a secure and tighter fit. Not sure who thought self tapping screws would hold up over time. The engineers of this one really "stepped up". Hopefully it lasts but unsure. It's a stupid design over all but glad etrailer has the parts I needed.
looks good thank you. Delivery on time
Gear pack worked as it intended to! Excellent product from an excellent company! Fit in my 14’ solera awning! Was quoted about $400 to have someone come out and look at it and maybe try to see what was wrong with my awning. Decided to take matters into my own hands and with a help of[{online] I was able to figure out what parts I needed and how to fix it. Took me about 20min to fix my awning. Now it’s up and running again! Thanks etrailer for your service and support! Saved me a little over $300!

It’s been about a year now with this part and it’s till running like a charm! No complaints at all I’m fact, I was able to help a few RV’ers with the same issue! Thanks again etrailer! Can’t recommend you guys enough!
Worked perfectly
Great service
Arrived a day early, easy to order and quick delivery
Perfect fit, much much better price than the RV shops.
Part went right on, no issues.
It might be helpful though to have an instruction sheet. If I didn't know myself where the oring went, I could see how it could cause confusion
The product was as described and fit like a charm. Quickly received

Just over a year after installing this part it has broken for a second time. Design is definitely flawed for large awnings.
