Dorman 742-141 Power Window Motor Compatible with Select Models, Black

I bought this to replace a dead motor on my Solara power travel trailer awning based on another rv owners recommendation. It's a perfect one for one fit and is identical except for the manual overide feature that allows manual retract /extend. At half the price, I'll take the chance that it will last. It came with 3 plug type options that you'll have to pick one, and splice on the power input wire to. I added about 6" of 14 gauge wire and with some wire nuts I was done in 30 minutes, but I'm slow. Make sure you maintain the positive and negative connections, not catastrophic, but when you push the rocker switch to extend / retract the awning will do the opposite. Very happy. I saved the old failed oem motor so if the new one fails, I can swap back to use the manual overide.

As per a reviewer in another RV forum, I put this motor in a Carefree Eclipse awning where the motor had failed and it fits perfectly. Ran the awning a couple of times in and out and so far it looks like it'll do the job, and all this at a fraction of the price of the RV dealerships. Dealer wanted almost $400 CDN for the motor alone, not to mention their $200/hr shop rate...this one was about $50 and was easily replaced in 15 minutes. There are a lot of Carefree awnings out there...don't fall for their high prices...many other purpose motors may fit these units.

Perfect for for my 1999 K2500 Chevy rear driver window. Pay attention to the spring before you drill out the last bolt on the original, it will fall off once motor is free. Pretty straightforward once I got the spring pointed correctly

This does come with the bolts needed. We were able to drill out the rivets and use the bolts

Perfect replacement for rv awning motor. 1/6 the price
