Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if this weathershield will fit my awning?
Measure your patio awning fabric from end to end when fully extended. This weathershield fits awnings that measure 11 feet 6 inches (11'6"). If your awning is a Dometic A&E brand and measures this length, this is the correct replacement part.
What's the difference between a weathershield and the main awning fabric?
The weathershield is the protective outer cover that wraps around your rolled-up awning when it's retracted. It's not the main fabric you extend for shade. The weathershield protects the main awning fabric from UV rays, rain, and debris during travel and storage.
Can I install this weathershield myself?
Yes, most RV owners can replace a weathershield with basic tools. The weathershield wraps around the rolled awning and secures in place. You may need to partially disassemble the awning arms to properly install it. Refer to your awning's service manual or consult a professional if you're unsure about the installation process.
Will this weathershield work on other awning brands besides Dometic A&E?
This weathershield is engineered specifically for Dometic A&E patio awnings. While some aftermarket parts may fit multiple brands, we recommend using genuine Dometic parts on Dometic awnings to ensure proper fit, function, and warranty coverage. Using this on non-A&E awnings may result in improper fit.
