Frequently Asked Questions

What's included with this complete awning assembly?

This is a complete awning unit including the roller tube, Onyx fabric, electric motor assembly, LED lighting, arms, mounting brackets, and necessary hardware for installation. You'll have everything needed to replace your existing 18-foot power awning.

Can I install this awning myself or do I need professional help?

While experienced RV owners with proper tools can install this awning, we recommend professional installation due to the size, weight, and electrical connections required. The awning must be properly mounted to structural supports in your RV sidewall, and the 12V wiring must be correctly connected for safe operation.

Will this awning automatically retract in high winds?

Yes, the Dometic 8500 series includes an integrated wind sensor that will automatically retract the awning when wind speeds exceed safe operating limits. However, it's always best practice to retract your awning manually when leaving your RV unattended or when severe weather is approaching.

How do I maintain the Onyx fabric to prevent mildew and fading?

Clean the fabric regularly with mild soap and water, allowing it to dry completely before retracting. Avoid using harsh chemicals or pressure washers. The acrylic fabric is treated for UV and mildew resistance, but proper maintenance extends its lifespan significantly. Always retract the awning when wet if possible, or extend it to dry before storage.
