Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this awning come with mounting hardware?
A: Yes, this complete assembly includes the mounting arms and hardware needed to attach the awning to your RV. You'll have everything required for a full installation.
Q: Can I replace just the fabric on my existing 8500 awning instead of buying the complete assembly?
A: Yes, if your roller tube and arms are in good condition, you can purchase replacement fabric separately. However, this complete assembly is ideal when multiple components are worn or damaged, or when you want a fresh start.
Q: What's the difference between the 8500 manual and motorized versions?
A: The 8500 manual awning uses a simple hand crank for extending and retracting, while motorized versions use an electric motor. Manual awnings are more reliable in the long term with fewer components that can fail, and they don't require electrical connections.
Q: Will this fit my RV if I currently have a different brand awning?
A: The Dometic 8500 uses standard RV awning mounting patterns, but you should verify your current mounting configuration and measure the available space. The 13-foot length refers to the fabric width when fully extended.
