{"product_id":"dometic-8273000-402u-short-awning-arm-hardware-set-black","title":"Dometic Short Awning Arm Hardware Set for 8500\/9000\/Sunchaser, Black","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eThis Dometic hardware set brings your 8500, 9000, or Sunchaser patio awning back to life with a complete left and right arm assembly. It's the short-length version for straight-side coaches measuring 62-5\/8 to 76-1\/8 inches from awning rail to floorline. Manual operation, pull wand included, and everything bolts on with hand tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your patio awning fabric still rolls out clean but the arms are bent, seized, or streaked with corrosion, you don't need a whole new awning. You need hardware. This Dometic set gives you a complete left and right arm assembly for 8500, 9000, and Sunchaser series patio awnings, so you can pull the tired arms off your coach, bolt on fresh ones, and keep the roller and fabric you already have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitment comes down to one measurement, so get this right before anything else. This is the short-length set, sized for coaches and trailers with straight, flat sides where the distance from the awning rail down to the floorline falls between 62-5\/8 inches and 76-1\/8 inches. Measure from the rail the awning mounts to on the side of your rig straight down to the ground, and if you land inside that window, this is your set. Come up taller than 76-1\/8 inches and you'll want the tall version of this hardware instead. Straight-side coaches only here. Curved-side walls take different brackets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a manual awning setup, and the pull wand you need to reach up and unlatch the travel lock is included. No motor, no switch, no wiring to chase. You walk the awning out by hand, set your pitch with the adjustable arm, and lock it down. That simplicity is a big part of why these hold up season after season. Fewer parts to fail on the side of the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe full set covers both sides and everything that hangs off them: left and right main arm, rafter arm, adjustable arm, top and bottom brackets, and mounting screw. It's the complete arm hardware package, not a single replacement piece, so a storm that folded one side or years of highway vibration that loosened both get sorted in one job. Worth saying plainly though. This is arm and bracket hardware. The awning fabric and roller tube aren't part of the kit, because most folks replacing arms are keeping a canopy that's still in good shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's the thing about awning hardware most people don't think about until an arm lets go. It's carrying real load. Wind pushes on that canopy, the arms take the hit, and over enough miles and enough seasons the metal fatigues. A bent arm won't retract square, a seized pivot won't extend, and a cracked bracket can let the whole assembly sag. Replacing the arms as a matched set means both sides move the same way again, the awning sits level, and the travel lock actually catches when you stow it for the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish is black, which suits darker trim packages and hides road grime a little better than white. If you've ever had an arm rust up until it wouldn't retract, or watched a gust catch an awning and torque an arm past straightening, you already know why fresh hardware beats fighting the old stuff. Dometic has been building this awning line for decades, and the arm geometry hasn't drifted, so a current set drops onto an older 8500 or 9000 without surprises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall is bolt-for-bolt with hand tools. Support the awning, unbolt the old arms at the rail and the lower brackets, transfer to the new hardware one side at a time so the roller stays captured, and torque the mounting screws home. Take your time with the adjustable arm so both sides pitch evenly for water runoff. If you've done any RV maintenance, this is well within reach for a driveway afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne tip from experience. Measure twice, confirm your awning series, and confirm your side profile before you order. Short versus tall and straight versus curved are the two things people get wrong, and both come down to a tape measure and a look at your coach wall. Get those right and this is a clean swap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComplete left and right arm hardware set for Dometic 8500, 9000, and Sunchaser patio awnings, so you reuse your existing fabric and roller\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShort length hardware fits an awning rail to floorline measurement of 62-5\/8 inches to 76-1\/8 inches, matched to standard straight-side coaches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt for coaches and trailers with straight, flat sides, not curved walls\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManual operation with the pull wand included, no motor or wiring to service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable arm lets you set awning pitch for shade and water runoff\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull set includes left and right main arm, rafter arm, adjustable arm, top and bottom brackets, and mounting screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish hides road grime and matches darker trim packages\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect-fit replacement geometry drops onto older 8500 and 9000 awnings without modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Dometic reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhich awnings does this hardware fit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt fits Dometic 8500, 9000, and Sunchaser series patio awnings.
