Lippert Part # 717666 OEM Replacement Lippert Solera Smart Arm Awning Controller and Touchpad Assembly

Direct OEM replacement for the controller and nested touchpad on Lippert Solera Smart Arm RV awnings. Restores full exterior one-touch awning operation without running inside to a wall switch -- exactly where you need it, right at the arm.

Exterior Awning Control, Right Where You Need It

When your Solera Smart Arm awning controller fails -- cracked touchpad, unresponsive buttons, water intrusion damage -- this is the OEM assembly that restores it. Lippert part 717666 (vendor part 07-7585) is the complete controller and nested touchpad unit designed to nest directly into the awning arm housing, giving you weatherproof push-button control of your awning from outside the RV.

This is not a universal aftermarket control box. It is the specific assembly engineered for the Solera Smart Arm system, using the same connectors, mounting geometry, and control logic as the original unit. Swap the failed unit out and your awning responds exactly as it did from the factory.

Arm-Mounted Touchpad

Nested touchpad design integrates directly into the Solera Smart Arm housing for a clean, factory-fit look and easy reach.

OEM Fit and Connectors

Plug-and-play replacement using factory connector pinout -- no wire splicing or adapter harnesses required for compatible units.

Exterior Operation

Control awning extend and retract from outside the coach, reducing wear on interior wall switches and eliminating trips back inside.

Genuine Lippert Part

Sourced from Lippert Components, the manufacturer of the Solera awning system -- same part that shipped on your rig originally.

What Is Included

This assembly includes the controller PCB and the nested touchpad as a single replacement unit. It is designed to replace the complete arm-mounted control assembly on compatible Solera Smart Arm awnings.

  • Controller and nested touchpad assembly (complete unit)
  • OEM Lippert part number 717666
  • Vendor part number 07-7585

Direct Exterior Control

The Smart Arm controller puts extend and retract commands at your fingertips from outside the coach. No remotes to lose, no wall panel required for basic operation -- just press and go from the arm itself.

Fitment Note

This controller and touchpad assembly is designed for Lippert Solera Smart Arm awning systems. Verify your awning model and arm style before ordering. The Smart Arm system uses an arm-integrated controller housing -- if your awning uses a separate wall-mounted keypad only, this is not the correct part. Check your existing arm for the nested touchpad pocket to confirm compatibility.

What Is NOT Included

  • Interior wall-mounted control panel (sold separately if needed)
  • Awning motor or motor wiring harness
  • Mounting hardware (reuse existing hardware from your original assembly)
  • Awning fabric or arms

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect the RV from shore power and turn off the 12V house battery disconnect before beginning work on the awning controller.
  • Photograph the existing wiring connector orientation before unplugging for easy reassembly reference.
  • The nested touchpad typically secures with small Phillips screws recessed into the arm housing -- do not overtighten on reassembly to avoid cracking the housing.
  • After installation, test extend and retract functions through the full awning travel before relying on the unit in the field.

Important Information

  • Confirm your awning is a Lippert Solera Smart Arm model with an arm-nested touchpad before purchasing -- this part does not fit all Solera or Lippert awning variants.
  • Disconnect 12V power before removing or installing the controller assembly to prevent electrical damage to the awning motor controller board.
  • This is an exterior-mounted component. Ensure all connector seals seat properly on reassembly to prevent water intrusion and repeat failure.
  • Reuse existing mounting screws and do not overtighten -- the arm housing pocket is plastic and can crack under excess torque.
  • If the motor itself does not respond after replacing this controller, the fault may be in the motor, main controller board, or wiring -- this touchpad assembly alone does not address motor-side failures.
