Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need to replace my awning weathershield?

Replace your weathershield if you notice cracking, tearing, significant fading, or if it no longer wraps tightly around the rolled awning. A deteriorated weathershield allows UV rays and moisture to reach your awning fabric, leading to premature wear, fading, and potential mildew growth. If your weathershield flaps in the wind during travel or has visible holes, it's time for replacement.

Will this fit my 13-foot awning?

No, this weathershield is specifically sized for 12'6" awnings. Using an incorrectly sized weathershield will result in either insufficient coverage (too short) or excess material that won't secure properly (too long). Measure your awning's extended length to confirm you need the 12'6" size before ordering.

Is installation difficult, or do I need professional help?

Most RV owners can replace an awning weathershield themselves with basic tools. The weathershield typically attaches to the roller tube using the existing mounting rail or clips. You'll need to extend the awning, remove the old weathershield, clean the mounting surface, and secure the new one following the manufacturer's instructions. The process usually takes 30-60 minutes. If you're uncomfortable working with your awning mechanism, consult a qualified RV service technician.

Does this weathershield come in other colors?

This specific part number (830316C150B) is polar white. Dometic manufactures weathershields in various colors to match different RV exteriors.
