Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if this weathershield fits my awning?
This weathershield is designed for 20-foot Dometic patio awnings. Measure your awning fabric length when fully extended—if it measures 20 feet, this is the correct weathershield. It fits most Dometic 8500 and 9100 series awnings in this length.
Does the weathershield come with installation hardware?
The weathershield typically includes the necessary attachment components. Installation involves wrapping the shield around your retracted awning roller and securing it according to Dometic's instructions. Most RV owners can install this in 15-20 minutes.
Will this weathershield fade or crack over time?
Dometic manufactures this weathershield from UV-resistant heavy-duty vinyl designed for continuous outdoor exposure. While all materials eventually show wear, genuine Dometic weathershields are engineered to last several years with proper care and maintenance.
Can I leave the weathershield on while traveling?
Yes, the weathershield is specifically designed to remain on your awning during travel. It protects the fabric from road debris, bugs, and weather while you're on the move. Always ensure your awning is fully retracted and properly secured before traveling.
