Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this awning come with all mounting hardware?
A: Yes, the Dometic 8500 includes mounting brackets and hardware needed for installation on your RV sidewall. You may need basic hand tools for installation.
Q: Can I leave this awning out in light rain?
A: The awning can handle light rain when properly angled for water runoff, but should be retracted during heavy rain, strong winds, or when leaving your RV unattended to prevent damage.
Q: What's the difference between manual and electric awnings?

Q: How do I measure to ensure this 15-foot awning will fit my RV?
A: Measure the available mounting space on your RV sidewall where the awning will be installed. The 15-foot measurement refers to the fabric length when fully extended. Ensure you have adequate clearance from slide-outs, windows, and doors.
