A. Application
The cassette awning is ideal for use on RVs that cannot
accept a full sized awning. It is especially well suited for
RVs with an over cab extension where there is not sufcient
surface for a bottom mounting bracket.
Cassette awnings can be installed by one person with
brief help from additional personnel. Use the following
procedure to ensure a properly installed, and properly
functioning awning.
Dometic, LLC reserves the right to modify appearances
and specications without notice.

ous situation which, if not avoided, could result
in death or serious injury.

ty alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in minor or

B. Specications
1. Power source must be capable of supplying at
least 2.2 Amps at the rated line voltage and fre-
quency to ensure reliable operation. The power
source may be utility power, or inverter of either
the modied sine wave or pure sine wave type.
2. Mounting bracket spacing. See FIG. 1.
a. 8' - 13' models require (3) brackets.
b. 15' - 16' models require (4) brackets.
3. The spacing shown in FIG. 1 must provide a
mounting bracket behind each shoulder assem-
bly (lateral arm attachment). See FIG. 2.
PROCEDURE
A. Install Cassette Awning
IMPACT OR CRUSH HAZARD. Make sure a
mounting bracket is located behind each
shoulder assembly (lateral arm attachment)
to provide proper support. Otherwise, the cas-
sette awning may become unstable and could
bend or collapse. Failure to obey this warning
could result in death or serious injury.
1. Determine location of awning.
a. Avoid location that interferes with entry door
swing when awning is completely extended.
Note: Awning is factory preset for a 10° fabric slope, but it
may be adjusted for a 20° slope. Allow for sufcient clear-
ance to accommodate awning pitch (slope).
For a 22" entry door, the approximate clearance should be
4 1/4" for 10° slope, and 7 7/8" for 20° slope.
b. Find a solid structure in RV wall for support of
mounting brackets (if possible). See FIG. 3.
Note: Solid structure must be as wide as mounting bracket,
and span from oor to roof of RV.
Make sure entry door will open when awning
is completely extended.
Make sure the mounting surface is at and
vertical. Any tilt in the mounting surface will
cause tilt in the lead rail. Failure to obey this
notice could result in property damage.

IMPACT OR CRUSH HAZARD. Make sure RV’s
structure will safely and securely support aw-
ning before installation. Otherwise, the cas-
sette awning may become unstable and could
bend or collapse. Failure to obey this warning
could result in death or serious injury.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Remove
power from RV before making wiring con-
nections. Wire to a 120 VAC, 60 Hz circuit
with correct polarity, and in compliance with
all applicable electrical codes. Do not allow
wiring to rub against sharp edges. Properly
seal all wiring against weather and moisture.
Failure to obey these warnings could result
in death, serious injury, or property damage.
5. With a mechanical lift, or the help of at least one
other person, lift the cassette awning up to the
mounting brackets.
IMPACT OR CRUSH HAZARD. Do not over-
tighten fasteners. This will cause them to
“strip out” and weaken their ability to hold
a load, which could cause the awning to
collapse. Failure to obey this warning could
result in death or serious injury.
Important: For installations without sufcient struc-
tural support, a backing plate and sleeves (available
from Dometic, LLC) will be needed inside RV wall. This
will help strengthen awning support. See FIG. 4.
Note: 0.405" O.D. sleeves and M6 carriage bolts will need
to be cut to appropriate length to t RV wall. Repair threads
(at cut) on carriage bolts. See FIG. 5.
4. Install mounting brackets with provided carriage
bolts, locknuts, and washers. Tighten to 35 ±5 in-
lb torque. See FIG. 3.
Note: If solid structure is not present, use backing plate
and sleeves. See FIG. 4.
Alternate fasteners may be used only if size and strength
requirements are met for the safe installation and opera-
tion of this awning. Bolt head must be no taller than 1/8".
LIFTING HAZARD. Use proper lifting tech-
nique and control when lifting awning. Failure
to obey this caution could result in muscle
strain, back injury, or property damage.
Before drilling, make sure there are no ob-
stacles inside RV wall (cables, wires, gas
pipes, etc.).
3. Pre-drill 1/2" clearance holes for sleeves, or 1/4"
clearance holes for M6 carriage bolts on the
marked locations. See FIG. 3.
2. Using a mounting bracket as a template, mark the
bracket’s position and hole locations. See FIG. 3.
6. Make wiring connections in compliance with all
applicable electrical codes. See FIG. 6.
Mounting brackets must be installed on a at
surface, be in-line with each other, and level
to ensure proper function and appearance.
To help prevent water leakage, always use
sealant where fasteners enter RV’s side wall
or roof.

ing bracket’s vertical surface. See FIG. 8.
9. Place and tighten the self drilling screws through
mounting bracket and into cassette awning’s
back rail. See FIG. 9.
IMPACT OR CRUSH HAZARD. Make sure aw-
ning is securely mounted, and hooked onto

warning could cause awning to dislodge and
fall, and could result in death or serious injury.

tions, and install with two screws. See FIG. 10.

in direct sunlight. Failure to obey this notice
could result in property damage.
