Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fabric fit my Dometic 8500 awning?
This fabric is designed specifically for 9-foot Dometic 8500 series power awnings. Verify your awning model and measure your current fabric length to ensure proper fit. The fabric must match both the awning series (8500) and the length (9 feet).
Can I install this awning fabric myself?
While experienced RV owners can replace awning fabric, this job requires careful handling of the spring-loaded roller tube, which stores significant tension. Many RV owners prefer professional installation to ensure safety and proper fabric alignment. Always follow Dometic's installation instructions and safety precautions.
How do I know when my awning fabric needs replacement?
Replace your awning fabric when you notice significant fading, tears, holes, mildew staining that won't clean, or fabric that no longer retracts smoothly. UV damage and weather exposure gradually weaken awning fabric over time, typically requiring replacement every 5-10 years depending on usage and storage practices.
Does this fabric come with the roller tube or hardware?
This is fabric only and does not include the roller tube, arms, or mounting hardware. It's designed to be installed onto your existing Dometic 8500 awning assembly. If you need additional components, contact our parts specialists for assistance identifying the correct parts.
