It runs 19 feet along the rail with an 8-foot extension, dressed in Onyx vinyl with a black weathershield and black castings for a clean, blacked-out look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dometic 8500 is a manual patio awning built to throw real shade across the door side of your rig. This one measures 19 feet along the rail and pulls out to an 8-foot extension, so you get a generous stretch of covered patio to sit under when you're parked for the weekend or the season. It's the Onyx color with a black vinyl weathershield and black end castings, which gives you that clean, blacked-out look a lot of newer coaches are going for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManual means you crank it out and set the arms by hand. No motor, no control switch, nothing to short out down the road. For a lot of RV owners that's the whole appeal. There's less to go wrong, it's easy to service yourself, and you're never stuck with an awning that won't budge because a circuit board quit. You roll it out, tension the fabric, drop the legs, and you're done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fabric here is vinyl, not acrylic. Vinyl is the heavier, more weather-ready choice. It sheds water instead of soaking it up, wipes clean with mild soap and water, and stands up to sun and grime better over a long season. If you camp in a mix of conditions, or you just don't want to baby your awning, vinyl earns its keep. The Onyx shade is a deep, dark tone that hides road dust and looks sharp against a white or gray coach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat black vinyl weathershield is the wrap that covers the rolled-up fabric when the awning is stowed for travel. It matters more than people think. A good weathershield keeps UV, road spray, and highway grit off the fabric while you're moving, so the awning you unroll at the next stop looks as good as the day you bought it. The black castings on the ends finish the look and protect the roller hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing you need to know before you order: the mounting hardware is sold separately. This awning is the fabric, roller, weathershield, and end castings. The support arms, brackets, and rail hardware are not in the box. That's actually normal for a replacement awning at this level, because a lot of folks are swapping worn fabric onto existing arms or matching hardware they already have. But if you're starting from scratch or your old arms are shot, plan on sourcing the matching hardware so you've got everything for a complete install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Owners of larger travel trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes that need a 19-foot awning and want the durability of vinyl with a blacked-out look. It's a strong pick if you're replacing a faded or torn awning and you're ready to step up the fabric and the styling at the same time. It's a manual unit, so it suits anyone who'd rather keep things simple and mechanical instead of adding one more powered accessory to the rig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA couple of honest notes from experience. Never roll a vinyl awning up wet and leave it stowed for weeks. Vinyl doesn't breathe like acrylic, so trapped moisture can lead to mildew on the fabric. Give it a chance to dry before you pack up, or unroll it again at home to air out. And in wind, bring it in. A manual patio awning is built for shade and light weather, not for standing up to a storm while you're off exploring. Retract it if you're leaving the site or the wind kicks up, and it'll last you a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure twice before you buy. The 19-foot figure is the awning length along the rail, and the 8-foot number is how far it reaches out from the coach. Check your existing rail length and mounting points so the replacement lines up with what's already on your rig. Get the size and the hardware right, and the Dometic 8500 gives you years of easy, good-looking shade at the campsite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e19-foot rail length with an 8-foot extension for a wide, deep shaded patio on larger rigs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManual hand-crank operation, no motor or electronics to fail or service down the road\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVinyl fabric sheds water, wipes clean, and holds up to sun and road grime better than acrylic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOnyx fabric color, a deep dark tone that hides dust and pairs with white or gray coaches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack vinyl weathershield wraps the rolled fabric to block UV and road spray in transit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack end castings finish the blacked-out look and protect the roller hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplacement-friendly, swap onto existing arms or build a fresh setup with matching hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMounting hardware sold separately so you can match your rig's existing rail and brackets\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\u003eIs this a manual or electric awning?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's a manual awning.
