Dometic 9100 Awning motor

Dan, just my two-cents worth (if you haven't already made a decision). No, I don't have experience with the aftermarket motor for the awning, but for $124 I would take the chance if, and only if, it's not a big pain for you to replace that motor yourself and you don't mind doing it again if you have to, or if it's not very expensive to pay someone else to do it. It's worth the chance for the huge price difference ($700 is ridiculous for an awning motor). There are some things I would only trust to OEM, but since the awning is not an essential, try the aftermarket. Again, you don't want to go that route if the replacement costs for labor are high. I just moved to Bradenton this summer from MD.
