Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need to replace my awning weathershield?
Replace your weathershield if you notice cracks, broken slats, excessive fading, or if it no longer properly covers the rolled awning fabric. Water stains on your awning fabric when you deploy it are a clear sign the weathershield is failing.
Will this fit my A&E awning or only Dometic brand?
This weathershield fits both Dometic and A&E (Carefree of Colorado) 15-foot patio awnings. A&E was acquired by Dometic, and many parts are cross-compatible. Verify your awning is 15 feet in length for proper fit.
Does this come with mounting hardware?
This weathershield typically uses your existing mounting hardware. If your original hardware is damaged or missing, you may need to order mounting components separately. Inspect your current installation before removing the old weathershield.
Can I install this myself or do I need a professional?
Most RV owners can install a replacement weathershield with basic tools and mechanical aptitude. The process involves removing the old weathershield and securing the new one using the existing mounting points. Consult your awning's installation manual for specific instructions.
