Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a complete awning or just the fabric?
This is a complete awning assembly including the fabric, roller tube, support arms, mounting brackets, and hardware. Everything you need for a full awning replacement is included.
Will this fit my RV if I currently have a different brand awning?
The Dometic 8500 uses standard RV awning mounting dimensions, but you'll need to verify your current mounting rail and spacing match. Measure your existing awning length and mounting points before ordering. The 848 designation indicates an 8'4" awning.
How difficult is it to install this awning?
Installation requires two people and basic hand tools. You'll need to mount the awning rail to your RV sidewall, attach the support arms, and adjust the spring tension. Most experienced RV owners can complete installation in 2-3 hours. Professional installation is recommended if you're not comfortable working at height.
Can I leave this awning out in the rain?
While the fabric is water-resistant, Dometic recommends retracting the awning during rain and wind. Water can pool on the fabric causing stress on the arms and roller tube. Always retract your awning when leaving your RV unattended or when weather conditions deteriorate.
