How hard is it to replace a motor on a A&E weather pro power awning and where could I find a motor.

Motor is Dometic only no aftermarket motors. You may be able to find them on Amazon or E Bay. There are 2 motor assbly's used. If not familiar with how the awning is mounted, it would be best to pay a professional. Risk of injury if you do not follow correct procedures. the New Motor will come with instructions. Read them and see if you are comfortable with doing it yourself. 1. Standard Weatherpro2. Weatherpro that has the motorized roll down sun shade. Doug

RV Geeks just published a youtube video that shows how to replace the fabric on an A&E powered awning. You can see in that video what is involved in removing the motor. Doesn't look too involved or difficult.

I watched the awning specialist replace our motor. It was not a plug and play operation. I don't recall all the things he mentioned he was doing, but it does involve having to drill out a rivet or two and it is important to know which ones as well as how to handle the spring/tension for the roll up part.My husband is a very good DIY guy, but we were both glad to have the expert do this fix.

I just replaced the motor on my A & E power pro awning two weeks ago. It is not that hard at all, as long as you're ok being up on a ladder and have a 2nd person to help you with this, you most certainly CAN do this yourself, and you will save a ton of $$$ doing it yourself. Dometic has a very good video on their web site showing how to do this, that's what I went by. If you lived close to me (Charlotte, NC), I'd be happy to help you get it done. :)There is a thread over in the general RVing forum that I started where I discussed this and how I ultimately got it done. Don't be intimidated by the rivets, very easy to drill old ones out, and a river gun can be had from harbor freight for $5 that you can use to rivet the new motor assembly back in. Not hard at all. I'll post you a link later to my thread on this subject. Feel free to PM me if you have specific questions.
