Why Lippert Components Solera awning seems to wobble when extending or retracting?
- T
  thomasbrandonSep 4, 2025
  If your Lippert Components Accessories awning wobbles during extension or retraction, ensure the bolts securing the head to the support arm assemblies are tight, the end caps are properly seated on the roll tube, and the shaft from the head to the end cap isn’t bent. Also, verify the mount arms are securely attached to the wall, no part of the support arm assemblies is bent, and the wear collar spacers are correctly placed within the support arm assemblies.

  Amy GuerraSep 12, 2025
  If your Lippert Components Accessories awning won't stay rolled out, inspect the cam lock. Signs of a faulty cam lock include the absence of a clicking noise when the awning is rolled out, or the awning rolling back up after being placed in the stop position.

Why Lippert Components Solera Accessories awning pitch won’t stay in the flat position?
- A
  Amanda SullivanSep 12, 2025
  If your Lippert Components Accessories awning pitch won’t stay flat, a bad gas strut may not allow the awning to open fully, causing the fabric to drop. Check the pitch arm bolt for proper tension, as high winds can cause deviation due to the awning's safety feature. Also, ensure all three washers are correctly located in the pitch arm.

Why does my Lippert Components Solera Accessories awning wobble when extending or retracting?
- T
  Tracey OlsonSep 5, 2025
  If your Lippert Components Accessories awning wobbles during extension or retraction, several factors could be responsible. Ensure the bolts securing the head to the support arm assemblies are tightened. Check that the end caps are properly seated on the roll tube and the shaft isn't bent. Verify the mount arms are securely attached to the wall and the support arm assemblies aren't bent. Finally, confirm the wear collar spacers are correctly positioned within the support arm assemblies.
