Solera® Super Shade

Installation and Owner’s Manual

(For Aftermarket Application)

Introduction

The Solera® Super Shade for Electric Awnings is the

only recreational vehicle awning shade made specically

for 12V awnings. It is simply the easiest shade to set up
on the market today. The Super Shade can be used on
Solera awnings as well as Carefree awnings and Dometic
awnings. It’s perfect for awnings that provide little shade

because they roll out at. The open-weave fabric cuts

approximately 85% of light for a cool and comfortable
shade. It provides some privacy without blocking your view
and doubles as a windbreak.

The Solera Super Shade for Electric Awnings comes in two
pieces: a 6’ body (below the zipper) and an insert.

IF STAKING SOLERA SUPER SHADE TO THE GROUND, BE
SURE TO DISABLE ANY AND ALL SELF RE-TRACKING WIND
SENSING OPTIONS ON THE AWNING. FAILURE TO DO SO
COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE AWNING AND UNIT.

Installation

1. Unbox and unfold the Solera Super Shade body and the

zipper insert. Unzip the insert piece from the body and set
the body piece aside.

2. Locate and trim the polycord so that at least 3” of
polycord extends past the fabric on both sides (Fig.1).

NOTE: For Solera and Carefree awnings, align the roll
tube channel with the front side of the drive/idler head
(Fig.1 and Fig.2). This allows the insert piece to slide
more easily into the roll tube channel.

5. Using the polycord, slide the insert piece into the roll
tube channel, making sure not to snag the insert (Fig.2).

NOTE: The easiest way to install this insert piece is to have
one person hold the insert even with the roll tube, while
another person pulls the insert into the roll tube channel.

6. Once the insert is located in the center of the roll
tube, affix the insert piece with self-adhesive hook and
loop fabric to the roll tube on both ends. This will hold
the insert in place when zipping on the body portion of
the Super Shade (Fig.3).

7. Take the body of the Super Shade and zip it to the insert
piece (Fig.4).

8. Stake the shade to the ground with the tie downs and
stakes provided.

NOTE: To remove the Super Shade for storage, remove
the spikes and tie downs and unzip the body panel of the

Super Shade. Fold to t in the storage bag provided. The

insert piece can remain on the roll tube and roll up with
the fabric when the awning is retracted.

NOTE: The other section of hook and loop fabric is sewn
into the insert piece (Fig.3).
