Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this awning fit my existing Dometic 8500 mounting brackets?
A: Yes, this awning is designed to mount directly to existing Dometic 8500 series brackets. Verify your current awning is an 8500 series and that your fabric width measures 8'8" before ordering.
Q: Does this come with the fabric already attached to the roller?
A: Yes, this is a complete awning assembly with the fabric pre-installed on the roller tube, ready for installation on your RV.
Q: How do I measure my current awning to confirm the 8'8" size?
A: Measure the fabric width from end to end when the awning is fully extended. The 8'8" measurement refers to the fabric width, not the projection distance.
Q: Can I install this awning myself or do I need professional help?
A: Many RV owners successfully install replacement awnings themselves with basic tools and a helper. However, if you're not comfortable working at height or handling the awning assembly, professional installation is recommended for safety.
