Frequently Asked Questions

What's included with this awning?

This is a complete awning assembly including the roller tube, fabric, arms, mounting hardware, and manual crank mechanism. Installation hardware and instructions are included.

Can I install this awning myself?

Yes, most RV owners with basic tools and mechanical skills can install this awning. The process typically requires two people for safe handling. Dometic provides detailed installation instructions, and mounting brackets must be properly secured to RV sidewall studs.

How do I know if this 8-foot size will fit my RV?

Measure the area where you want to mount the awning. The 8-foot measurement refers to the projection (how far it extends out), not the width along your RV. Ensure you have adequate sidewall space and clearance for the awning arms when extended.

What maintenance does this awning require?

Regular cleaning with mild soap and water helps maintain the fabric. Always retract the awning in high winds or when leaving your RV unattended. Periodically check mounting hardware for tightness and lubricate moving parts with silicone spray.
