Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a complete awning or just the fabric?
This is a complete awning assembly including the sandstone fabric, roller tube, support arms, mounting brackets, and all necessary hardware. You receive everything needed to install a full awning system on your RV.
Will this fit my RV if I currently have a different brand awning?
The Dometic 8500 uses standard RV awning mounting dimensions, but you'll need to verify your current awning rail and mounting configuration. Measure your existing awning length and check that you have compatible mounting hardware on your RV sidewall. Professional installation is recommended if you're replacing a different brand.
How do I measure to ensure 13'6" is the right size?
Measure the length of your existing awning roller tube or the distance between your current mounting brackets. The 13'6" measurement refers to the fabric width. Make sure you have adequate clearance on both sides of your RV and that this length doesn't extend past slide-outs or other obstructions.
Can I install this awning myself or do I need professional help?
While experienced DIYers can install this awning, it requires two people due to the size and weight. You'll need to properly mount the brackets to your RV sidewall, ensure level installation, and correctly tension the fabric. If you're not comfortable working at height or drilling into your RV, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper function and warranty coverage.
