Re: Awning Issue
I just measured the awning on our 337 and it's definitely only 6 ft wide and deploys straight out...I think Solera use the term 'flat' as opposed to 'pitched'. As the 293 and 303 place the awning arms in the chin area also, they are the same as that location only allows the 61" arm. A 303 I looked at was the same awning width.
LCI doesn't provide too much info on their web site but do show that they have awning arms in 3 lengths. The 61" arm is for a 6 ft 'flat' awning like on the Reflection. I'm speculating here that the 66 1/8" arm would be for a 8 ft wide, 'flat' awning and the 69" arm would be for a 8 ft wide, 'pitched' awning.
Are the awnings on the Solitude and Momentum 8 ft...'flat' or 'pitched'?
Here's a link to the Solera awning section of LCI's site... http://www.lci1.com/index.php?option...405&Itemid=337

Re: Awning Issue
I have an email in to Micah Staley, who is the designer on the Reflection line.

Re: Awning Issue
Here is the answer from the guy that builds them....
"The LCI awning on the 337 it is 8', but yes it is only a 6' fabric on the other floorplans. The problem on the mid profile is that there isn't enough sidewall to fit the taller awning arm, so I am working on developing the 8' with a shorter arm with LCI that should be done before the first of the year.

Re: Awning Issue
Thanks for the info. Perhaps he's referring to current production as there's no denying that the 337 in my driveway has a 6 ft wide awning on it with a 61" awning arm...the shortest that LCI makes. I'll contact him directly myself as far as changing it out for a 8 ft wide.
Edit: Ours is a 09/13 build which I think was one of the earliest units.

Re: Awning Issue
My solitude has an 8' awning and my steps I carpeted on day one
Be careful if you make this mod thick carpet will not allow them to fold
Properly and you will have to force them closed
Also I have scene the large side awnings on the slide outs on a friends drv fw
It helps with sun shade tremendously. What I want are slide toppers
Will be making that purchase soon

Re: Awning Issue
Everytime we unroll the awning and the wind blows the awning rolls up on itself. Is there any way to lock the awning down in the out position besides using an awning strap. Any suggestions would be grately appreciated.An almost happy solitude owner.

Are you saying that the awning retracts on it's own...does it have a wind sensor as some do to automatically retract the awning to prevent damage.

They been putting a 8 ft wide, pitched awning on the 337's for a while. Mine was the 337 prototype and came with the 6 ft wide, flat awning unfortunately.
Congrats on your order...
