Frequently Asked Questions

Is this awning a complete assembly or just the fabric?

This is a complete awning assembly including the roller tube, fabric, arms, mounting hardware, and manual crank mechanism. Everything you need for a complete installation is included.

Can I install this awning myself or do I need professional help?

While experienced DIYers can install this awning, it's a two-person job due to the length and weight. The awning must be properly mounted to structural elements of your RV sidewall. If you're not comfortable working at height or ensuring proper structural mounting, professional installation is recommended.

What's the difference between the 8500 series and newer Dometic awning models?

The 8500 series is Dometic's proven manual awning design that's been refined over many years. It features straightforward mechanical operation without motors or electronics, making it extremely reliable and easy to maintain. Newer models may offer features like electric operation or LED lighting, but the 8500 remains popular for its simplicity and durability.

How do I know if this will fit my RV?

This awning is specifically designed for Model 848 installations with a 19'6" length requirement. Measure your existing awning or the space where you plan to install it. You'll also need to verify your RV has the proper mounting rail or structural support for this length awning.
