help needed 2350 electric awning addition

I have a 2005 2350 , originally had the box awning and then some previous owner replaced that with a Dometic manual awning. I would like to install a power awning but because of the tapered shape not sure what to order. current awning is good if I can just buy power arms. Willing to buy complete new awning if necessary.

What brand does a current 2350 on the Ford chassis use?

I asked Google "how to convert a manual rv awning to electric" and it suggests to replace the roller with a motorized roller, or replace the arms with motorized arms.  My 2010 has a dometic awning (of the same year) with the motorized arms and no problems with it.... So far.  My thoughts are that a same brand conversion would reduce the chance of additional/new holes in the side of the coach for the arms... You would only add a hole at the top front(right) end for the new wires to control it.


I think it is worth contacting Dometic to see what they suggest. I would think the answer is going to depend upon the model and year of your existing awning, so have a picture of it as well as any stickers/numbers/labels included in the request.


I wish I could offer more, but I've never encountered idea this before.
