Replaces the head pin of the Regal-style drive head on your Solera 12V, 18V, or Smart Arm electric RV awning.Excellent replacement for my Grand Design solara awning. After hitting a tree getting into a tight spot.etrailer had plenty of parts with videos to give me the confidence to take the drive head apart, saving me hundreds of dollars in the project. Attached is a picture of the drive head before replacement.
The only part I needed to fix my awning and etrailer was the only place I could find it on line. The customer service has been very good about checking in an d keeping me apprised as to how my order progressed, prefer they used UPS or FedEx but am happy with the result.
Replacement Drive Headpin arrived within 3 days. Package arrived in good shape and merchandise was just what I needed.
etrailer sucks and sent the wrong part. I triple checked I ordered the correct piece but they sent the wrong one. Even more aggravating was there was zero accountability. I didn’t get around to fixing it right away and as a result they told me I was outside the return window and I could get bent. A total waste of my time and money.
Outstanding! Ran into an issue where I needed this part quickly and it was overnighted with zero issues. Martha was very helpful and pleasant to talk with. She wanted to make sure the part got here an time and followed up. Other businesses could learn a few things from this experience. I will be ordering again and it will be with eTrailer. Thank you Martha and team!
etrailer was excellent getting me this factory part. The reason for the review is the factory part is a bad design and seems to be too short by about 3/16". It does not go into gear set all the way and strips out end of shaft and strips out and cracks gear set housing. Very bad design and doomed to fail again. Hope Lippert gets this fixed soon, this was 1 year and a month old, so out of warranty. Lippert should go back and recall this flaw and reimburse customers for lost camping time and parts.
Perfect fit. This was the only place we could find this part! Ordering was easy, follow up and communication was constant, shipping was fast. It came down to finding this part or replacing the awning motor for 8 times as much money. This was a no brainer. Hubby replaced it himself in under an hour.
Perfect fit shipping was 2 days off but that USPS problem not etrailer
Exactly what I needed. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because it is grossly over-priced. But I’m sure Lippert is over charging you as well.
This shaft aka Drive Head Pin failed on my awing which was less than a year old. I was told my the rv manufacturer that it would be several weeks to get me one due to supply chain issues. etrailer not only had what I needed but it was a decent price and I received it within a couple of days, not weeks. I highly recommend them

I keep a spare drive head pin handy just in case I have any further issues with my Lippert awning and so far over a year after having to replace it there have been no issues
thios was a replacement for an incorrect part that was sent. This is the correct part
This fixed my Grand Design awning. Great quality!
All the parts look perfect and the drive head pin fits perfectly into the drive head motor gear pack that was ordered at the same time. we haven't gotten to actually doing the repair yet - big snow fall here the other day, but have high hopes that it will all work out.
Thank you for your help Martha.
Envelope arrived with nothing in it

I will get this taken care of. I am so sorry it arrived empty like that!
Fits perfectly and totally resolved the issue
Hole for screw is not tapped or threaded, buyer beware! Use a self tapping screw or your original will break off.
Excellent fit, works like it should. I used a cotter pin in place of the screw cause the screw was stuck and broke while removing it. I Had to replace it cause the old one bent from high winds while we were away. I would have gave it 5 stars but I thought is was a bit pricey.
Right part and correct fit to fix my awning that was damaged in a wind gust.
It arrived a day early and was just what I needed. It was packaged well.
Excellent customer service, super quick delivery.
The factory pin was pressed into the gear drive whereas this on just slid in so I was concerned, but it ended up working perfectly and got me back up and running without any problems. This save me from have to buy the whole assembly which is over $400.00. I definitely would recommend this part.
Worked and fit as expected.
part arrived a little later than I'd hoped for but that could be due to the Post Office. Otherwise, pleased with the item. Thank you.
Drive pin for 2021 or newer. Perfect match. Etrailer was great to buy from! Great customer support through email, good Q&A section that helped me track down the very specific piece.
Exact match!

Still aggravated by e-trailer sending me the wrong part… I had to modify it to make it work as I already had my awning torn apart. So far my modifications have been holding up and survived a camping season.
