Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this awning come with the mounting hardware and installation instructions?
A: Yes, the Dometic 8500 includes all necessary mounting brackets, hardware, and detailed installation instructions. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper mounting and electrical connections.
Q: Can I replace my existing manual awning with this power awning?
A: In most cases, yes. You'll need to verify that your RV has 12V DC power available at the awning location and that the mounting rail is compatible. The 8500 uses standard mounting dimensions, but measuring your existing setup is recommended.
Q: How does the wind sensor work and at what wind speed does it retract?
A: The integrated wind sensor continuously monitors wind conditions and will automatically retract the awning when sustained winds reach unsafe levels (typically around 20-25 mph). This protects the awning from damage during sudden weather changes.
Q: What's the projection distance when fully extended?
A: The Dometic 8500 extends approximately 8 feet from your RV sidewall when fully deployed, providing excellent shade coverage. The adjustable pitch allows you to customize the angle for optimal shade positioning.
