Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this fabric work with my older RF 8500 awning that doesn't have LED?

A: Yes. This LED-equipped fabric is backward compatible with non-LED RF 8500 systems. The integrated LED channels won't interfere with operation if you're not using LED lighting. You can add LED strips later if desired.

Q: How do I know if my awning is an RF 8500 model?

A: Check the roller tube or awning arm for the Dometic branding and model number. The RF 8500 is Dometic's motorized awning line. You can also measure your awning length—this 20'7" fabric is designed for standard RF 8500 units. Contact our support team with your VIN or awning photos if you're unsure.

Q: Is installation difficult, or do I need a technician?

A: Most RV owners can handle fabric replacement with basic tools. The fabric slides onto the existing roller tube and secures with the same hardware. Detailed installation instructions come with the part. If you prefer professional installation, we recommend contacting a Dometic-certified RV service center in your area.
