If you're replacing a different brand, you may need to modify or replace the mounting brackets. Measure your existing awning rail and verify compatibility before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I know if I need an 18-foot awning?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure your existing awning from end to end along the roller tube, or measure the awning rail mounted on your RV. The 18-foot measurement refers to the fabric width. If your current awning is 18 feet, this is the correct replacement size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the sandstone color the same as the original Dometic fabric?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this sandstone color matches the original Dometic factory specification for the 8500 series. It's a neutral tan\/beige shade that coordinates well with most RV exteriors and resists showing dirt and stains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this come with installation instructions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, installation instructions are included. However, awning installation requires two people and proper tools. If you're not comfortable working at height or with mechanical assemblies, we recommend professional installation by an RV service center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose Elkhart RV Parts?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe specialize in hard-to-find Dometic RV parts that other suppliers don't stock.
