Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this fabric fit my older RF 8500 awning without LED channels?
A: This fabric is designed with LED channel slots. It will fit standard RF 8500 frames, but the LED channels will not be used on non-LED equipped awnings—this won't affect functionality.

Q: How difficult is it to replace the awning fabric myself?
A: The RF 8500 uses a quick-release system that makes fabric replacement manageable for most RV owners. You'll need to release the old fabric from the roller tube and slide the new one into place. Many owners complete this in 1-2 hours.

Q: What's the difference between Onyx and other Dometic awning colors?
A: Onyx is a dark gray-black color that provides excellent contrast for nighttime visibility with LED lighting and hides dirt well. Other colors like Camel or Sandstone are lighter and may show dust more readily.
