How do I measure to confirm this is the right size?

Measure the fabric width of your existing awning from end to end. This awning has an 8'4" (848) fabric width. The "848" designation in the model number refers to this measurement in a shortened format.

Can I install this awning myself?

While installation is possible for experienced DIYers, we recommend professional installation due to the weight of the assembly and the importance of proper mounting to your RV's sidewall. Improper installation can cause damage to your RV or injury.

Will this awning fit my RV model?

The Dometic 8500 series is designed to fit most RVs with standard awning rail mounting systems. Verify your current awning is a Dometic 8500 series and measure the fabric width to ensure compatibility. If you're unsure, contact our parts specialists with your RV make, model, and year.
