Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this awning fit my RV if I have an older RF 8500 unit?
A: Yes. The RF 8500 manual awning uses standard Dometic mounting hardware. As long as your RV has existing RF 8500 brackets and rail, this 13-foot replacement will install directly.
Q: How do I deploy and retract this awning?
A: The RF 8500 uses a manual crank handle. Simply turn the crank to roll the fabric out for shade or roll it back in for storage. No electricity required, making it reliable in all conditions.
Q: Can this awning handle heavy rain and wind?
A: The acrylic fabric is water-resistant and the aluminum frame is built for durability. However, we recommend retracting the awning during severe storms or high winds to prevent damage.
