Our Comments
To overcome the 25mm variation between the 8300 and 8500 awning lengths the 8700 drum has an adjustable spindle.
The 8700 Awning Roller/Drum is preset to Suit Dometic 8300 awning length.
If you are replacing a Dometic 8500 awning adjust the RH top casting to outer hole (Shown on page 10 of manual - Fig 3)
There is a span of 230cm between the wall mounting and where the vinyl first enters the awning barrel.
