Lippert 18" / 158 lb (700N) OEM Replacement Lippert 346882 -- Solera Awning Arm Gas Strut, 18", 158 lb

Keep your Solera awning arms moving smoothly with a direct-fit replacement gas strut. The Lippert 346882 delivers 158 lb (700N) of controlled support force to restore proper awning arm tension on compatible Solera power and manual awning assemblies.

Restore Proper Awning Arm Tension with a Genuine Replacement Strut

Gas struts in Solera awning arms wear over time. A failing strut may cause the awning arm to feel heavy, drop unexpectedly, fail to hold position, or require excessive manual effort to deploy and retract. The Lippert 346882 is the correct service replacement strut for affected Solera power and manual awning arm assemblies.

Rated at 158 lb (700N) of gas spring force and measuring 18 inches in extended length, this strut matches the factory specification for compatible Solera arms. It is sold individually -- order the quantity needed for your specific repair (most awning arm assemblies use one strut per arm).

158 lb / 700N Force Rating

Matches the factory support force spec for compatible Solera awning arm assemblies.

18" Extended Length

Correct extended-length dimension for direct fitment -- no modification required on compatible arms.

Power and Manual Compatibility

Designed for use in both Solera power awning arms and compatible manual awning arm assemblies.

OEM Lippert Part

Genuine Lippert replacement component. Part number 346882 (vendor cross-reference 08-4667).

Direct-Fit Service Replacement

The 346882 is engineered to the same extended length and force specification as the original strut installed at the factory on compatible Solera awning arms. No drilling, cutting, or bracket modification is required when replacing a like-for-like worn strut on a matching assembly.

Identifying a Worn or Failed Gas Strut

  • Awning arm feels unusually heavy or drops without support when partially extended
  • Awning does not hold a deployed position without manual effort
  • Visible oil residue or streaking on the strut body (internal seal failure)
  • Strut body is bent, corroded, or the end fittings are cracked or broken
  • Awning arm travel is jerky, uneven, or requires significantly more force than when new

Fitment Guidance

This strut is intended for Solera awning arm assemblies manufactured by Lippert. Before ordering, verify the following against your existing strut and awning arm documentation:

  • Extended length of the existing strut (should measure approximately 18 inches tip to tip)
  • Force rating stamped or labeled on the existing strut body (should show 700N or 158 lb)
  • End fitting style -- confirm the mount style matches your arm's attachment points
  • Your awning arm part number or Lippert service documentation for the specific assembly

Solera awning product lines have evolved over multiple generations. If your arm uses a different strut length or force rating, verify compatibility with Lippert technical support or your awning arm's service documentation before ordering.

Installation Tips

  • Fully retract the awning and secure it before beginning strut replacement
  • Release any tension on the arm carefully -- worn struts may still retain partial pressure
  • Note the orientation of end fittings before removing the old strut
  • Inspect arm pivot hardware and bushings while the arm is disassembled -- replace worn hardware at the same time
  • After installation, cycle the awning through several deployments to verify smooth, even operation

Important Information

  • Verify your existing strut measures 18" in extended length and is rated 700N (158 lb) before ordering -- incorrect strut length or force rating will result in improper awning arm operation.
  • Solera awning arms span multiple generations and model variants. Fitment is limited to compatible assemblies; not all Solera awning arms use this strut.
  • This listing is for 1 (one) gas strut. Order the correct quantity for your repair.
  • Gas struts contain pressurized nitrogen gas -- do not puncture, incinerate, or attempt to disassemble the strut body.
  • Always fully retract and secure the awning before performing any arm or strut service.
  • Mounting hardware and arm pivot components are not included and must be sourced separately if worn or damaged.
