Frequently Asked Questions
Will this awning fit my RV if I currently have a manual awning?
This power awning is designed for Model 231 applications. If you're upgrading from a manual awning, verify your RV's model designation and mounting configuration. The power awning requires 12V DC power connection, so ensure your RV has the necessary wiring or be prepared to add it during installation.
How do I measure to confirm I need a 15-foot awning?
Measure the length of your current awning roller tube or the distance between mounting brackets on your RV sidewall. The 15-foot measurement refers to the fabric length when fully extended. Always verify your existing awning size before ordering a replacement.
Does this awning come with installation hardware?
The awning includes the complete roller assembly, fabric, arms, and motor system. Mounting hardware may vary depending on your RV's existing setup. If you're replacing an existing Dometic 9500 awning, your current mounting brackets should work. For new installations, verify what additional mounting components you may need.
Can I leave the awning out in wind and rain?
While the awning is weather-resistant, Dometic recommends retracting it in winds exceeding 20 mph or during heavy rain to prevent damage. Consider adding an optional wind sensor that automatically retracts the awning when wind speeds become unsafe. Never leave the awning extended when you're away from your RV.
