RV awnings take a beating from sun, wind, and rain—leading to sagging fabric, torn seams, and frustrating roller jams. The Solera® 18' Power & Hybrid Awning Roller Assembly solves these problems with military-grade Prepflex Blue Fade fabric and a reinforced roller tube designed to withstand 55+ mph winds. Engineered for both power and manual operation, this assembly ensures smooth performance season after season.
Features
- 18-foot span – Ideal for mid-size to large RVs
- Prepflex Blue Fade fabric – UV-resistant with 1200D tear strength
- Reinforced aluminum roller tube – 3.5" diameter prevents bending
- Dual-operation compatibility – Works with power motors or manual cranks
- WeatherLock™ seals – Prevent water intrusion at mounting points
- Pre-drilled hardware slots – Simplifies installation on most Lippert® frames
Solera® awnings are the gold standard for RV protection, combining aerospace-grade materials with RV-specific engineering. The Prepflex fabric’s fade-resistant blue gradient maintains curb appeal while its tight weave blocks 98% of harmful UV rays. Unlike cheaper vinyl alternatives, this fabric won’t crack in freezing temperatures or stretch in desert heat.
The hybrid design future-proofs your investment—convert between power and manual operation as needed without replacing the entire assembly. All mounting hardware includes corrosion-resistant coatings for coastal or rainy climates.
