Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need to replace my awning roller tube?
Replace your roller tube if you notice visible bends, dents, or corrosion, if the awning won't retract evenly, or if the tube has been damaged in an accident or storm. A damaged tube can prevent proper awning operation and may tear your fabric.
Can I install this roller tube myself?
While experienced RV owners can replace a roller tube, it requires careful handling of the awning fabric and spring tension mechanisms. We recommend having two people for installation and following Dometic's service manual. If you're not comfortable working with awning springs, professional installation is recommended for safety.
Will this tube work with my existing awning fabric?
Yes, this roller tube is designed to work with your existing 18-foot awning fabric. The tube accepts standard Dometic/A&E fabric attachment methods. Make sure your current awning is 18 feet in length before ordering.
Does this come with mounting hardware or end caps?
This is the roller tube only. End caps, arms, mounting brackets, and other awning hardware are sold separately. If you're doing a complete awning rebuild, make sure to order all necessary components for your specific awning model.
