Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This weathershield is designed for A&E and Dometic patio awnings approximately 14 feet in length. Verify your awning measurements before ordering to ensure proper fit. The weathershield should match your awning's extended length (typically 6 inches shorter than the awning size designation).

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if this weathershield will fit my awning?

Measure your awning when fully extended. This 13'6" weathershield fits awnings that are approximately 14 feet long when deployed. A&E/Dometic awnings are typically labeled with their size (like "1400" for 14 feet), and the weathershield should be about 6 inches shorter than that measurement.

What's the difference between a weathershield and an awning cover?

A weathershield wraps around the rolled-up awning fabric while it's stored in the awning rail, protecting it from the elements during travel and when not in use. An awning cover (or bag) typically covers the entire awning assembly including the arms and hardware. This is a weathershield that protects just the fabric roll.

Can I install this weathershield myself?

Yes, weathershield installation is straightforward for most RV owners. You'll wrap the shield around your rolled awning fabric and secure it according to your awning model's design—typically with clips, straps, or by tucking it into the awning channel. Refer to your awning's manual for specific installation instructions.

Will this work on brands other than A&E or Dometic?

This weathershield is specifically designed for A&E and Dometic patio awnings. While it may physically fit other brands with similar dimensions, we recommend using manufacturer-specific parts to ensure proper fit and function. Check your awning brand and model before ordering.
