Frequently Asked Questions
Will this awning fit my RV if I currently have an A&E awning?
Yes, Dometic acquired A&E Systems, and the 8500 series maintains compatibility with many A&E mounting systems. However, verify your current awning measurements and mounting configuration before ordering. The 10-foot length refers to the fabric width when fully extended.
How far does this awning extend from the RV sidewall?
The Dometic 8500 manual awning typically extends approximately 8 feet from the RV sidewall when fully deployed. The exact extension depends on arm angle and mounting height, but this provides substantial coverage for outdoor activities.
Is professional installation required for this awning?
While experienced RV owners can install this awning with proper tools and assistance, professional installation is recommended. The awning is heavy, requires precise mounting to ensure proper operation, and involves working at height on your RV sidewall. Most RV service centers can complete installation in 2-3 hours.
What maintenance does this manual awning require?
Clean the vinyl fabric periodically with mild soap and water to prevent mildew and extend fabric life. Lubricate the roller tube and arm pivot points annually. Always retract the awning in high winds or when leaving your RV unattended. Inspect mounting hardware and fabric condition before each camping season.
