Can I Replace the Inner Arm for My 69' Lippert Solera Awning?

Question:

Is there a separate inner arm for a LCI Lippert Solera RV Power Awning 69 foot Drive Arm Black 12V that can be purchased? Mine is bent and needs to be replaced. Please note the part is not the pitch arm but the inner arm the one the top of the gas strut is attached to If not is the only other option to purchase a whole replacement arm assembly?

I'm so sorry to hear about your bent support arm. We have had a few neighbors who have reached out to us with a damaged inner arm assembly. Unfortunately, the inner arm of Lippert Solera awnings are specially manufactured by a certain amount of force during the production process by a special machine. With that being said, even if the inner arm were available to purchase, there would be no physical way to install the arm into the wall mount and the outer arm. Since this is the case, you will have to replace the whole Solera 69" Standard Flat Awning Support Arm, Black # LC281154.
