A traditional Solera 12-volt powered awning has a drive head containing the motor, an idler head on the opposite side, and a wall switch or controller that runs the awning. Lippert's illustrated catalog separates those parts and lists black and white head assemblies, wiring pieces and speaker-head variants.

The manufacturer's catalog identifies the various head styles, motors and controls by part number. Compare the pictured configuration with the installed awning before ordering.

Confirm the correct component

The earlier 266149 motor uses a one-way drive connection, while 373566 is the later two-way-connection motor. Check the original motor connection and production date before ordering: the current NewRVParts listings distinguish units built before versus after July 15, 2015. This guide is for traditional Solera power hardware, not an assertion that every Solera 3000/Regal variant uses the same parts.

Drive and idler heads have different jobs. Motor, switch, plain head and speaker head references also differ. Use the exact manufacturer number from the fitted awning; a photo of a black head or a two-wire switch does not establish fitment.

Awning springs and powered arms can be under significant tension. Follow the correct Lippert service procedure; use a qualified technician for mechanisms that require spring or arm disassembly.
