Battery-Powered Awning
The Solera 18V Power awning provides shelter from the sun and inclement weather. A battery-charged motor conveniently extends and retracts the awning with the flip of a switch. The beauty of this awning is that you get a powered unit without the hassle of having to wire it to your RV's power supply. This also means that you don't have to deal with the added expense of paying a professional to install it. The battery pack comes inside the awning arm, so there's no wiring to connect internally. Everything comes ready to go.
The rechargeable battery lets you deploy the awning 22 to 25 times between charges. A 110V charge kit is included. This AC adapter plugs into any 110V wall socket and connects to the battery pack built into the arm. There is no need to remove the battery pack from the arm to charge. A manual override allows you to extend and retract the awning using a power drill (not included) if the battery runs out of juice.
Durable Vinyl Fabric
The durable awning fabric holds up to the rigors of the outdoors. It's made of premium 13.5-oz vinyl, which is an upgrade over the 10-oz fabric used in many awnings. In addition, this fabric features heat-welded seams to prevent leaks. The fabric is cold-crack protected to -25 degrees Fahrenheit, so it won't crack or degrade during cold weather.
Manual Angle Adjustment
The Solera 18V Power awning offers manual pitch adjustment for each arm to keep you shaded from the sun all day long. This is a great feature on hot summer days. When the awning is initially extended, it will be parallel to the ground. This provides protection in the middle of the day, when the sun is high in the sky.
As the sun gets lower throughout the day, you can tilt the awning to one side to effectively block the sun. When you're ready to retract the awning, you can do so no matter what position the arms are in. There's no need to readjust the pitch to its original, parallel position before retracting.
Auto Rain Dump Feature
This awning also makes a great rain shield. Its automatic rain dump feature prevents too much water from building up in the canopy, so there's no need to manually adjust the pitch to release the excess water. When the arms sense that there is about 10 lbs of water pooled in the canopy, the dump feature will automatically activate. The awning arms will reposition to release the pooled water and then return to their original position. Just don't get caught walking by when it happens!
Simple Installation
An awning rail (LC715216- sold separately), which is used to anchor the fabric of the awning to the RV, is required for installation. You will need a minimum clearance of 2-1/2" between the awning rail and the top of the entry door. You'll also need 69" of open space on the RV wall - from the awning rail straight down - so that the wall-mounted brackets for the awning arms can be installed.
The roller tube, which comes with the awning fabric already mounted, attaches to the awning arms. The other side of the fabric slides into the awning rail on the RV. To complete installation, just use the included self-tapping screws to secure the arms to the wall-mounted bracket. Because this awning is powered by the self-contained, rechargeable battery, no wiring is required.

Well, Our Motorhome "Patches" manual 18' awning had outlived its life having performed admirably since 2003. Sadly it had become so road worn & tattered, we were ashamed to get out the gear & gumption to roll it out. Just too ruff looking for public viewing. Not counting the pain it was to deploy. we finally decided to replace it and found this great deal on etrailer for Solera 18'cordless power awning. Cordless. Power. One finger. Built in rain dump. No more trying to hook that little bitty loop 10' in air with a 4' rod looking into the sun & with Solera's automatic rain dump, no more rushing back from hiking or, fishing to roll that rascal in. Can you say, Bliss? Now the first one got a little jammed up in shipping & had to go back But, as soon as the folks at etrailer got confirmation it was returning, (the same day) they got another on out to me. (Ms. Ashley) And it arrived in vert short order. I cannot say enough good things about the folks at etrailer.( Ms. Ashley, Ms. Helen, Bro. Alex) Every single person I talked to was Professional, Polite, & Knew their stuff. Just like All of America used to be. But I digress, the Solera 18v Power Awning was fairly easy install with help from my Son. And guess what? No hunting for a power source! Toughest thing really was getting the old one down & disposing of it. The instructions were easy for a Man to understand & follow, (lotsa Pictures) & a really good hardware kit. I could not be happier! We had it installed and working in very short order taking plenty breaks. No more shame of ratty awning! No more aching back from jumping up & down reaching! No more sun blindness! Did I Say Bliss yet? So, if you're in the market for a new power awning, and you Don't want to spend a ton of money, do a lot of wire chasing, or fight with herd of disgruntled employees, and generally have a crappy day, Do yourself a favor and give these folks a call, or, email, or carrier pigeon, Just give them a chance. This is a great company selling a great product, And they are both MADE IN AMERICA! BTW, The handsome fellow on the roof is not me, He's my oldest son.1447891

Review from a similar Solera 18V Power in RV Awnings
Still love this awning after 1 year! My motor home is 17 years old. This is my third (and best) awning. This is a very nicely designed piece of hardware. It bolts directly to the side of the motor home with two I-beams, so it is very sturdy. There was no wiring necessary since the battery is self-contained with an external charging connection. The installation video provided by ETrailer made the installation easy, with two helpers. Since it is battery operated, it's a breeze (pun) to extend or retract when its breezy outside. I've only had to recharge the battery once. Thank you ETrailer for another great product!1487928

Review from a similar Solera 18V Power in RV Awnings
This awning has been great. This awning was part of our "RV Renovation" project. It was a fantastic upgrade. It deploys and retracts without any issues. You can be set up in a minute without any problems. This unit is battery powered so there were no installation issues or wiring required which made it simple.
We do a lot of dry camping, and the battery capacity has not been an issue for us even when we have had to deploy and retract it multiple times during a trip.1275573

Review from a similar Solera 18V Power in RV Awnings
Jan. 3-2020 What a great company and staff. Thanks to hard the hard work you performed in my behalf. I had purchased a Solera 18 volt-20 ft awning package and had it shipped to Camping World in Minnesota. Somewhere along the way the 20 ft awning escaped from the delivery truck. I won't mention who the freight shipper is, but the awning is still on the loose.
After many calls to the freight shipper and etrailer the staff decided to send me another awning to help me get on the road for an upcoming trip with my RV. Otherwise it would have ruined my trip.
Thanks to everyone and I will continue to be a loyal purchaser of the many fine products the company sells.
Hats off and a big salute!!!
Thanks Dino
P.S. I hope to post pictures after the awning has been installed.
Hopefully it will be found and returned to E-Trailer735604

The Solera 18V Power RV Awning part # LC730510 will fit any trailer with 69" of space open on the side of the trailer wall straight down (see photo) and then at least 2-1/2" of clearance between the awning rail and top of entry door. If your trailer meets these two criteria which it should then you will have no issue installing the above awning. I don't have any of these specs for you trailer so you will need to measure this for yourself but if you don't have enough space for the above... view full answer...
The Solera Smart Arm 12V Power RV Awning # LC405510 that you referenced is an 18 foot awning that comes with everything to install that you'll need. You'll most likely need to replace the wiring you have left so I wouldn't worry about trying to integrate the wiring you have. This is a white fade color that will be white closer to the RV and then fade to a darker color at the end of the awning.
For a similar setup that has the colors fade the opposite direction we have the part # LC730510. view full answer...
The Solera 18V Power RV Awning - 18' Wide is available in white arms with white fabric as part # LC730510 and black arms with black fabric as part # LC729505. view full answer...
You will need the Solera Awning Rail Extrusion # LC715216 for your Solera 18V Power RV Awning # LC730510, it is important to note that this product is sold in 8' sections. So if you need 18' you will need to order 3 sections and cut it down. view full answer...
My suggestion is the Solera 18V Power RV Awning, 18' wide with a rechargeable battery in white fade, # LC730510 or in black fade, # LC729505.

The 18' Wide Solera 18V Power RV Awning does only come in two colors, Black Fade or White Fade. The Black Fade starts off (closest to the RV) dark and gets lighter towards the end, while the White Fade starts off light and gets darker. The two options are:
- Black Fade: Solera 18V Power RV Awning - 18' Wide # LC729505
- White Fade: Solera 18V Power RV Awning - 18' Wide # LC730510

Yes, the 18' Wide Black Fade Solera Smart Arm 12V Power RV Awning, # LC517505 can be used as a replacement to your manually operated awning. You will need to attach this to a 12 VDC power source.

I do have an option for you that would not require an external power source in the Solera 18V Power RV Awning part # LC730510 for 18' wide or part # LC730492 for 16' wide but the Solera 12V XL Power RV Awning part # LCV000334998-362241 operates on 12 VDC and would need to be attached to a 12V battery.

You can definitely replace your Dometic CareFree awning with the Solera 12V XL Power RV Awning # LCV000335015-362241. You'll just want to ensure the length is correct to replace your current awning since the arms are a bit different between the two awnings.
Solera awnings have vertical arms that will mount to the wall of your motorhome. The # LCV000335015-362241 has 78" long arm brackets so you'll need to ensure that these won't get in the way of anything else (windows, door handles,... view full answer...
