Lippert Solera Power Awning
Looking for advise about the Lippert Solera Power Awning on my trailer. The short lower arm is hinged in the middle so that the angle of the awning can be lowered to let rain water drain off.
The problem is the awning can only be strapped to the ground when this adjustable arm is straight (awning all the way up) or pulled all the way down.
When the awning is all the way up, it is flat with no slope at all. When it is all the way down, it hits the top of the door.
Seems like an engineering flub.
I could solve this I think by cutting 3 to 4 inches off this lower hinged arm, but if it doesn't work or causes other problems, I might not be able to get a replacement. Lippert doesn't list the arm as a part.
Anyone run into this or done something different?
