Searching for your Solera power awning parts can be extremely tricky when you can’t locate or outsource them from the right supplier. Knowing where to get the majority of these parts and accessories, and even awnings themselves, can sure eliminate a futuristic headache.
No worries, you have stumbled upon the right page to help guide you in finding those hard to get products. Below I will attempt to give you a generalized product page that will help you focus on getting the right part from the right place.
Before I do so however, that if you choose to find an alternative source for finding ANY RV parts or accessories, that you read this article: Where is the Best Source for RV Parts and Accessories?
Otherwise, stick around, and I’ll tell you that for these Solera power awning parts, accessories, and awnings, will be easiest to purchase from 2 sources, in which you will find out below.
18V Universal Awning Hardware
When you hear the word “universal”, what is the first thing you think about? I think something that has the potential to be utilized in place of something else.
Well, this is a DIYers dream come true with this hardware. This 18V Power hardware is compatible with Solera awnings and other leading awning brands on the market, which are Dometic, and Carefree.
Below, is what is available:
- -Mfg# 434729 – 18V power awning 69″ Black
- -Mfg# 434730 – 18V power awning 69″ White
Each kit does not include the awning roller assembly or fabric, and requires a minimum clearance of 4″ between awning rail and top of entry door for the tall arm adjustable pitch.
Also, these products include110V charging kit which allows you to operate your awning 22-25 times before your battery needs to be recharged.
12V Smart Arm Awning Hardware
Your RV just got smarter ๐
With the push of a button, you have an awning with automatic operation from inside or outside your RV. What comes in a 63″ short or 69″ standard arm length, this kit is also a universal fit that comes with an integrated weatherproof controller.
Available Parts for this product include:
- -Mfg# 759404 – Smart Arm Kit, 63″ short White
- -Mfg# 759516 – Smart Arm Kit, 63″ short Black
- -Mfg# 759405 – Smart Arm Kit, 69″ standard White
- -Mfg# 759517 – Smart Arm Kit, 69″ standard Black
- -Mfg# 715123 – Wind Sensor Kit
- -Mfg# 715124 – Infrared Sensor Kit (Pictured)
- -Mfg# 674282 – 15′ Awning Light kit White
- -Mfg# 674283 – 21′ Awning Light kit White
The short arm hardware will roll the awning out to a pre-set pitch for maximum shade and ideal rain runoff, while the tall arm, or standard arm hardware will roll the awning out flat to allow for clearance over slides, and allows quick and easy pitch adjustments at either side of the awning.
Universal Hybrid Hardware
If you’re looking for simple crank operation for a fast, one step setup, then this hardware is powered for you.
What provides the optimum pitch when used over slide outs, the hardware available is as follows:
- -Mfg# 434728 – Tall Arm, Infinite Pitch 69″ White
- -Mfg# 434727 – Tall Arm, Infinite Pitch 69″ Black
These hybrid arms are designed to provide quick and simple independent pitch adjustments to allow rain to auto dump when water pools in the canopy. These arms also include the crank wand.
Universal Classic Hardware
Classic does not define a 1980s Pink Cadillac, but when you think classic design, think classic operation with this classic hardware.
The classic universal awning hardware kit features a traditional manual spring-assisted roll up operation, with arms that detach from the bottom bracket that easily allow it to swing into a “carport” position. This provides varied pitch options to block the sunshine at any time of the afternoon.
Below, are the classic arm kit parts:
- -Mfg# 434715 – Short Arm 63″-68″ Black
- -Mfg# 434716 – Short Arm 63″-68″ White
- -Mfg# 434717 – Standard Arm 68″-81″ Black
- -Mfg# 434718 – Standard Arm 68″-81″ White
- -Mfg# 434719 – Long Arm 81″-96″ Black
- -Mfg# 434720 – Long Arm 81″-96″ White
Note – Each Kit contains 2 arms, or a set.
Awnbrella Awning Support
These awnbrella awning bows turn your awning into another roof almost, by adding support to the already loose awning.
What creates a better angle for water run-off, these rust-resistant aluminum bows hold fabric tight and arched so that water and debris can easily run off.
This is the perfect part or product for campers that stay for a season at a campground in the Kootenays, or for those who like keeping their awnings extended for long periods of time. This saves you from pitching one end lower than the other as well.
Available parts for this category include:
- -Mfg# 362238 – 8′ 2pk
- -Mfg# 362237 – 8′ 3pk
- -Mfg# 362240 – 10′ 2pk
- -Mfg# 362239 – 10′ 3pk
Slide Toppers
When searching for awning parts in the form of slide toppers, you are given two possible results. One are the toppers themselves, which come in 22 different varieties, while the other is the prep kit.
The prep kit includes access brackets, access plates, and #10 screws and set screws. Access brackets allow adjustable topper heights and are compatible only with Solera brand slide toppers so be extremely sure you have that product.
Although, since 2019, Solera has pre-installed these slide topper prep plates onto several of the most popular RV brands on the market, so chances are on your newer models, they may already be there.
Available products for the prep kits include:
- -Mfg# 795355 – White
- -Mfg# 795354 – Black
Now, as far as the slide topper itself, it features a solid black or white fabric and comes complete with awning rail and all mounting brackets. It permanently attaches to slide room and automatically retracts or extends with the slide-out itself. Fit sizes like I said came in 22 different options ranging from 66″ to 192″ in length and extending up to 42″.
Part # 2202-1 and 2202-30 are the white and black, 61″ wide, 61″ long topper, while part # 2202-22 and 2202-51 are the white and black, 187″ wide, 187″ long toppers. Everything in between is in numerical order.
Universal & Custom Replacement Fabrics
Available only in 2 colors, white or black, the manufacturing numbers for the universal fabric are below:
- -Mfg# 432253 – 48″W x 50′ L, Black
- -Mfg# 432252 – 48″W x 50′ L, White
The universal replacement fabric features premium vinyl fabric, heat-welded seams, can accommodate slide-outs up to 48″, and can be installed up to 5″ above the slide box trim. This is a simple solution that stops you from wasting time and space by ordering a custom slide topper fabric.
Going one step further, the custom replacement fabrics are available in colors:
- -Blue fade w/ White
- -Burgundy fade w/ White
- -Sand fade w/ White
- -Silver fade w/ White
- -Black fade w/ Black
- -White fade w/ White
and range in sizes from 10′ up to 21′ in certain colors. The fabric is cold crack tested to -25 degrees Fahrenheit and features a heat welded weatherguard at the top which provides protection when closed and during travel.
All the manufacturing numbers are too numerous to list, so I ask, should you seek further assistance, leave a comment below and I’ll help you out. Alternatively, you can scope out the links at the bottom to guide you to your destination.

However if you want replacement side panels you’ll get a standard 8′ width and a drop that ranges from 6′ all the way to 10′. For these mfg #s, and the remaining mfg #s, I ask you reach out to me in the comments section, or take the direct approach and send me an e-mail which you can find in the About Jeremy page of this website.

Cheers!
It’s good to know that you are able to purchase replacement parts without having to purchase the whole power awning again. That will definitely save money down the road. I also appreciate that you had the part numbers available. Sometimes it is so difficult to find a part number and then when you order the part, the manufacturer sends something completely different! Thank you so much for this information!
