My 2014 Keystone Hideout has serious power awning troubles. It all started the end of last season, when a wind storm woke me up, and as I begin putting the power awning in, it began making crazy noises when rolling. It got worse over the next few campouts, until it finally wouldn't extend out or in anymore.
So, I ordered a new motor for it. Installed today, and wasn't working still. I took the housing off, and gears were not wanting to turn like they should. Starting working the gears as it felt like they were seized up, and bam, one of the gears crumbles, and falls apart in my hand.
So, at this point, maybe my motor wasn't bad after all? Maybe it was just my gears got screwed up from the one evening in the windstorm.
All the info I have in it is that it has a "LCI" stamped across the housing box on the awning.
Searching around on Amazon, I found this, and appears its the same assembly I am looking for.

Anyone have a better place to buy the housing assembly? How do I know this is the exact one that will fit mine? No serial numbers or anything.
