Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this awning fit my existing Dometic 8500 mounting brackets?
A: Yes, this awning is designed as a direct replacement for Dometic 8500 series awnings and uses the same mounting pattern and hardware. If you currently have an 8500 series awning, this unit will fit your existing brackets.
Q: How do I measure to confirm I need an 11-foot awning?
A: Measure the length of your current awning roller tube from end to end, or measure the distance between the mounting brackets on your RV. An 11-foot awning measures 132 inches in total length. Always verify your current awning size before ordering.
Q: Can I install this awning myself or do I need professional help?
A: Most RV owners with basic tools and mechanical aptitude can install this awning, especially if replacing an existing unit. The process involves removing the old awning and mounting the new one to existing brackets. Having a helper is strongly recommended due to the size and weight of the assembly.
Q: Is the Black Onyx fabric resistant to mildew and fading?
A: Yes, Dometic awning fabrics are treated for UV resistance and mildew resistance. Regular cleaning and proper storage when not in use will maximize the fabric's lifespan and appearance. Always retract the awning in high winds or severe weather.
