Dometic 11-Foot Universal Patio Awning Fabric, Onyx / Polar White
Dometic 11-Foot Universal Patio Awning Fabric, Onyx / Polar White — Product description
Dometic's Universal Replacement Awning Fabric brings your 11-foot patio awning back to life without swapping the whole roller. This is the Onyx one-piece vinyl with a Polar White weathershield underside, cut for an 11-foot length and an 8-foot extension. The poly rope comes pre-installed, so it slides right into the roller channel.
When the fabric on your patio awning starts to crack, fade, or split at the seams, you don't have to tear the whole assembly off the side of your rig. You replace the fabric. That's exactly what this is. It's Dometic's Universal Replacement Awning Fabric cut for an 11-foot awning, and it drops right into the roller and rafter arms you already have mounted.
The numbers matter here, so let's be clear about them. This piece is an 11-foot length with an 8-foot extension, which is the 96 inches of reach you get when the awning is rolled all the way out. The color up top is Onyx, a deep charcoal that hides road grime a lot better than the lighter tans do. Flip it over and the underside is a Polar White vinyl weathershield, so the side facing your patio stays bright and reflects heat instead of soaking it up.
It's a one-piece fabric, not a couple of panels stitched together down the middle, so there's no center seam sitting there waiting to leak or pull apart. The vinyl is double-sided printed and heavy, built to take years of sun, rain, and the occasional surprise gust. Dometic pre-installs the poly rope along the edges, and that's the part that saves you the most time. The rope is what feeds into the channel on the roller tube and the awning rail, and getting it pre-sewn means you're not fighting to thread cord on install day.
This is a universal replacement, which means it's built to fit the common patio awning roller assemblies you'll find on most travel trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes. If your current fabric measures out to an 11-foot rail, this is your size. Measure the awning rail on your RV, not the old fabric, because a stretched or shrunken cover can throw your reading off by a few inches. The 11-foot size lands right in the middle of the range, covering a lot of shorter trailers where the awning shades a single slide or a dinette window.
Plan on this being a two-person job. One person feeds the rope into the channel while the other guides the fabric and keeps the tension even, and doing it that way is how you keep wrinkles from setting in permanently. Pick a calm day, too. Wind is the enemy of anyone trying to stretch a fresh awning fabric flat. Most folks can knock the swap out in an afternoon with basic hand tools, and there are plenty of Dometic install walkthroughs that show the roller-tube and rail routing step by step.
Once it's on, a little care goes a long way. Rinse it down when it gets dusty and give it a wash with a vinyl-safe cleaner a few times a season. Let it dry all the way before you roll it up, because rolling a damp awning is how you invite mildew streaks on that Polar White underside. Retract it when the wind kicks up, store it rolled, and this fabric will hold its color and its shape through a long run of camping seasons.
One more thing worth knowing. Onyx is one of Dometic's most popular fabric colors for a reason. It reads as a clean, modern charcoal from the campsite, it pairs nicely with both white and darker RV exteriors, and it doesn't show every speck of pollen and dust the way a cream or beige will. If your rig came with a tan awning that's now faded and blotchy, stepping up to Onyx is an easy way to make the whole side of the trailer look newer.
Bottom line, if your awning hardware is still solid and it's just the fabric that's shot, this is the honest fix. You keep the arms, the roller, and the mount you already trust, and you give the whole setup a clean, fresh face for a fraction of what a full awning replacement would run you.

Frequently asked questions
What size awning does this fabric fit?
It's cut for an 11-foot patio awning with an 8-foot extension. Measure your awning rail, the aluminum track on the side of your RV, not the old fabric, since a worn cover can stretch or shrink. If your rail measures 11 feet, this is the right size.
What does 11 foot length by 8 foot extension mean?
The 11-foot length is how wide the fabric runs along the side of your rig. The 8-foot extension, or 96 inches, is how far the awning reaches out from the wall when it's rolled all the way open.
Is the poly rope already installed?
Yes. Dometic pre-installs the poly rope along the edges. That rope is what slides into the channel on the roller tube and the awning rail, so you're not threading cord yourself on install day.
What color is the underside?
The underside is a Polar White vinyl weathershield. It faces down toward your patio, reflects heat, and keeps the shaded side looking clean and bright while the Onyx side faces the sun.
Can I replace just the fabric and keep my awning arms?
That's the whole idea. If your roller, arms, and mounting hardware are still in good shape, you only swap the fabric. You keep the assembly you already have and save the cost of a full awning.
Is this a one-piece fabric or seamed?
It's one continuous piece with no center seam. That means there's no stitched joint down the middle to leak, fade unevenly, or pull apart over time.
Do I need special tools to install it?
Basic hand tools cover it. The bigger factor is having a second set of hands and a calm, wind-free day. One person feeds the rope while the other keeps the fabric tensioned and wrinkle-free.
Will this fit awnings other than the original?
It's a universal replacement fabric built for the common patio awning roller assemblies found on most RVs. As long as your hardware uses a standard 11-foot rail and roller channel, it's designed to fit. Match the length and channel style to be sure.
How do I keep it looking good?
Rinse off dust, wash a few times a season with a vinyl-safe cleaner, and always let it dry fully before rolling it up. Retract it in high wind. Rolling it damp is the fastest way to get mildew streaks on the white underside.
