LCI Solera vs Dometic 9100 power awning

Looking for comparisons on the two brands. Pros/cons of each would be preferred if you have any dealings with both.

Also, is the fabric/roller assembly universal or brand specific (i.e. could you replace the fabric on a Dometic with fabric from a Solera?)

I had a Solera, but the arms broke with a wind gust, so I am having it replaced with a Dometic 9100. The fabric/roller is still in perfect shape, and I do not want to throw it out. Not having any luck selling just the roller assy/fabric, so am wondering if there is a benefit for me holding on to it for future need(in case the new fabric rips/tears in the future I will have a replacement).

Do all 9100 power awnings come with the LED light strip in the roller tubes power channel, or is it an add-on accessory?

Thanks
  • Coachmen briefly switched from the Dometic 9100 to the LCI Solera but had so many reports of failures with the Solera that they've now switched back to the 9100. Fortunately my own Freedom Express came with a 9100 and I've had no issues with it. :B
