Power awning arm upgrade

A while back, I purchase a pair of Dometic A&E 9100 power awning arms; and a drive motor from eBay. Did the install over the long Holiday weekend.

  • Prior to deciding on this upgrade, I contacted Winnebago, manufacturer of this year model Sunnybrook trailer. They gladly sent a diagram of the side-wall aluminum frame construction with placement of the wood backers. This way, I'd know where to install the mounting hardware. It's mounted very solidly.
  • Looks great. Your very fortunate to have had some real wood to attach the critical upper mounting screws to (I assume). I only have an aluminum frame up there and it's not beefy enough to secure them to.
    So I take it you keep the old awning tube?
