Measure your awning fabric length when fully extended. If it measures 18 feet, this is the correct weathershield. The 6-slat design fits standard Dometic roller tubes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; color: #111; margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eQ: Can I install this weathershield myself or do I need a professional?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 20px 0; padding-left: 16px;\"\u003eA: Most RV owners can install this weathershield themselves in about 15-30 minutes. The shield wraps around your rolled awning and secures with the built-in fastening system. Basic hand tools may be needed. Always ensure your awning is fully retracted and dry before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; color: #111; margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eQ: Will this weathershield prevent mold and mildew on my awning fabric?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 20px 0; padding-left: 16px;\"\u003eA: The weathershield provides excellent protection against moisture, UV rays, and debris when your awning is stored. However, always roll up your awning completely dry. If your awning gets wet, extend it to dry fully before retracting and covering with the weathershield to prevent mold growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; color: #111; margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eQ: What causes weathershields to deteriorate and need replacement?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 20px 0; padding-left: 16px;\"\u003eA: Constant UV exposure, extreme temperature changes, and normal wear from extending\/retracting your awning cause weathershields to crack, tear, or lose slats over time. Replacing a damaged weathershield prevents expensive awning fabric damage from direct sun and weather exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: 700; color: #dc2626; margin: 32px 0 16px; padding-bottom: 8px; border-bottom: 2px solid #dc2626;\"\u003eWhy Choose Elkhart RV Parts?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.8;\"\u003eAt Elkhart RV Parts, we specialize in hard-to-find Dometic replacement parts that keep your RV systems running perfectly.
