Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the projection (extension) of this awning?
A: The Dometic 8500 series typically extends 8 feet from the RV sidewall when fully deployed, providing substantial outdoor coverage. Always verify mounting clearances before installation.
Q: Can I replace just the fabric on my existing 8500 awning?
A: Yes, Dometic offers replacement fabric separately if your roller tube and arms are in good condition. This complete assembly is ideal when replacing the entire awning unit or upgrading from another brand.
Q: How do I know if this will fit my RV?
A: Measure your existing awning or the available mounting space on your RV sidewall. This 13-foot awning requires approximately 157 inches of horizontal mounting space plus clearance for the arms. Check that your RV sidewall can support the mounting brackets.
Q: Is professional installation required?
A: While experienced DIYers can install this awning with proper tools and a helper, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper mounting, tension adjustment, and safe operation. Improper installation can void warranty coverage.
