Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Power Case and standard power awnings?
The Power Case design integrates the motor housing directly into the roller tube, creating a sleeker profile compared to traditional power awnings with external motor boxes. This design also provides better weather protection for the motor components while maintaining the same reliable electric operation.
Will this awning fit my RV if I currently have a 13-foot manual awning?
If your RV currently has a 13-foot Dometic awning with compatible mounting points, this power awning can typically be installed as an upgrade. However, you'll need to verify your RV has 12V power available at the awning location and that the Model 231 configuration matches your mounting requirements. Measure your existing awning and compare mounting hardware before ordering.
Does this awning include the mounting hardware and motor?
Yes, this is a complete awning assembly that includes the integrated Power Case motor, roller tube, fabric, aluminum support arms, and standard mounting hardware. The motor is pre-installed in the roller tube assembly. You'll need to connect to your RV's 12V electrical system during installation.
Can I leave this awning extended in light rain or wind?
While the Dometic 9500 features weather-resistant fabric, you should retract the awning in heavy rain, wind over 20 mph, or when leaving your RV unattended. The fabric is designed to handle light moisture, but standing water can pool and damage the awning. Always retract during storms or high winds to prevent structural damage.
