Stop wrestling with a broken or unresponsive awning switch. The Lippert 285500 is a direct-replacement switch kit for any Solera power awning, giving you clean, reliable one-button extend and retract control. It ships with a 16 AWG wiring harness so you have everything needed for a straightforward swap -- no hunting down separate connectors or pigtails.
The Lippert Solera ecosystem is one of the most common power awning platforms on the road today, found on rigs from Heartland, Jayco, Keystone, Thor, Winnebago, and countless other brands. Over time, switch assemblies crack, corrode, or simply wear out from repeated use and UV exposure. The 285500 kit is the factory-approved fix -- same function, same form factor, no modifications needed.
The switch is molded from durable plastic in a clean black finish that blends with standard RV interior and exterior control panels. The included 16 AWG wiring harness is already sized for the current load of a Solera awning motor, so there is no guesswork on wire sizing when you make the swap.
Designed to work with any Solera-branded power awning system, regardless of awning length or coach brand.
16 AWG pre-wired harness is included so the kit is complete out of the box -- no additional wiring accessories required.
Impact-resistant plastic housing with a smooth black finish that is easy to wipe clean and resists fading.
Manufactured domestically under Lippert quality standards and backed by a limited 1-year manufacturer warranty.
This switch kit is designed as a plug-and-play replacement for the existing Solera awning switch. Most installations involve disconnecting the old switch harness, connecting the new harness, and securing the switch to the existing mounting location -- no special tools or electrical expertise required for a basic swap.
This Lippert switch kit is sold under multiple OEM part numbers by major RV brands. If your parts manual lists any of the following, the 285500 is your replacement:
This kit replaces the control switch and wiring harness only. It does not include the awning motor, fabric, arms, or any other mechanical awning components. If the awning motor itself has failed, a separate motor replacement will be needed.
