Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this RF 8500 awning fit my RV?
A: The RF 8500 is compatible with most Class A motorhomes, Class C motorhomes, and travel trailers with standard awning mounting brackets. Verify your RV's awning rail width and mounting system before ordering. Contact our team if you're unsure about fitment.
Q: What does the SLT (Slide-Out Lateral Tilt) feature do?
A: SLT technology lets you independently adjust the pitch of each side of the awning, allowing you to direct water runoff and create custom shade angles. This is especially useful when parked on uneven terrain or when you need directional sun control.
Q: How does the wind sensor work?
A: The integrated wind sensor automatically detects high-wind conditions and triggers the awning to retract fully, protecting the fabric and frame from damage. You can also manually retract the awning using the control switch at any time.
