please, I am not looking for pro or con, my elect has a bad motor, and the fabric got damaged in Alaska. This is the 2nd motor, and cost is $450. for the motor alone. I want to know if anyone did it, and how much damage in removing the old one. I know there will be some holes where the elect one is mounted to the side.
Just curious. What brand is your awning?
Yes, it can be done BTW (no, I haven't done it) on an externally mounted one. A recessed one would be more problematic (like Bigfoot RVs have) when changing awning types. Unbolt old awning hardware and install new. Some filling of now unused holes and drilling new ones may be required. If you take the plunge, get a good one if you are planning on keeping the RV for a while.
