Frequently Asked Questions
What voltage does the Dometic 8500 awning motor require?
The 8500 series operates on 12V DC power, drawing from your RV's house battery system. The motor is designed for low power consumption and reliable operation even with moderate battery levels.
Can I replace just the fabric, or do I need the complete awning assembly?
This is the complete awning assembly including motor, arms, roller tube, and fabric. If your existing 8500 awning hardware is in good condition and you only need fabric replacement, Dometic offers fabric-only kits. However, if your motor is failing or arms are damaged, this complete assembly is the right solution.
Will this awning fit my RV if I currently have a different brand?
The Dometic 8500 uses standard RV awning mounting patterns, but you'll need to verify your existing mounting rail dimensions and spacing. Most RVs with vertical sidewall mounting can accommodate this awning, though some bracket modifications may be needed when replacing non-Dometic brands.
Does this awning include the LED lighting system?
Yes, the Dometic 8500 series includes integrated LED lighting in the awning roller tube. The LED strip provides ambient lighting for evening outdoor activities and connects to your RV's 12V system through the same wiring as the motor.
