Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if this weathershield will fit my awning?
Measure your awning fabric from end to end when fully extended. If it measures 19 feet (228 inches), this weathershield is the correct size. Also verify you have a 5-slat metal weathershield currently installed, not a vinyl or different slat configuration.
Can I replace individual slats or do I need the complete weathershield?
While individual slats can sometimes be replaced, purchasing the complete weathershield assembly ensures all components match in color, finish, and condition. This provides the best appearance and longest service life, especially if your existing weathershield shows signs of aging or UV damage.
Will this work on both manual and power awnings?
Yes, this weathershield fits both manual and power Dometic/A&E patio awnings that are 19 feet in length. The weathershield attaches to the roller tube regardless of the awning's operation mechanism.
What tools do I need to install this weathershield?
Installation typically requires basic hand tools including a drill or screwdriver, and possibly a ladder depending on your RV height. The weathershield attaches using screws or rivets to the awning roller tube. Refer to your awning's installation manual for specific instructions, or contact our parts specialists for guidance.
