Frequently Asked Questions
What's included with this awning?
The Dometic 8500 awning includes the complete awning assembly with roller tube, fabric, support arms, mounting hardware, and manual crank handle. Installation instructions are included to guide you through the mounting process.
Can I install this awning myself?
Yes, many RV owners successfully install Dometic awnings themselves with basic tools and two people for assistance. The awning mounts to your RV sidewall using the included hardware. Proper measurement and leveling are critical for smooth operation. If you're not comfortable with the installation, professional RV service centers can install it for you.
How do I know if this 8-foot awning will fit my RV?
Measure the area where you want to mount the awning on your RV sidewall. The 8-foot measurement refers to the fabric width when fully extended. Ensure you have adequate sidewall space and clearance from doors, windows, and other obstacles. The awning requires approximately 8.5 feet of horizontal mounting space including the arm assemblies.
How do I maintain the awning fabric?
Clean the fabric regularly with mild soap and water to prevent dirt buildup and mildew. Always retract the awning in high winds or when leaving your RV unattended. Allow the fabric to dry completely before rolling it up for storage to prevent mildew growth. Periodic inspection of the fabric and hardware ensures long-lasting performance.
