Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a complete awning assembly or just the fabric?
This is a complete awning assembly including the roller tube, arms, motor, LED lighting, fabric, and all mounting hardware. It's ready for installation on your RV.
Will this fit my RV if I currently have a different brand awning?
The Dometic 8500 uses standard RV awning rail mounting, so it will fit most RVs with a 13-foot awning space. Verify your current awning rail length and mounting configuration before ordering. Some modifications to wiring or mounting may be needed when replacing non-Dometic awnings.
Does the motor require any special wiring or switches?
The awning operates on 12V DC power from your RV's electrical system. You'll need to connect it to a switched 12V power source and install a control switch (typically a momentary rocker switch) inside your RV. The LED lights connect to the same power source.
Can I add a wind sensor to this awning?
Yes, the Dometic 8500 series is compatible with Dometic's optional wind sensor accessory, which will automatically retract the awning when wind speeds exceed safe levels. The wind sensor is sold separately.
